Things Families Should Know About School Bus Safety

  • School buses are the safest form of highway transportation.
  • The most dangerous part of the school bus ride is getting on and off the bus.
  • Pedestrian fatalities (while loading and unloading school buses) account for approximately three times as many school bus-related fatalities, when compared to school bus occupant fatalities.
  • The loading and unloading area is called the “Danger Zone”
  • The “Danger Zone” is the area on all sides of the bus where children are in the most danger of not being seen by the driver (ten feet in front of the bus where the driver may be too high to see a child, ten feet on either side of the bus where a child may be in the driver’s blind spot, and the behind the bus).
  • Half of the pedestrian fatalities in school bus-related crashes are children between 5 and 7 years old.
  • Young children are most likely to be struck because they:
  • Hurry to get on and off the bus
  • Act before they think and have little experience with traffic
  • Assume motorists will see them and will wait for them to cross the street
  • Don’t always stay within the bus driver’s sight

  • Have your children put everything they carry into a backpack or school bag so that they won’t drop things along the way.
  • Attach a piece of high visibility fluorescent or reflective material to their clothing or backpack.
  • Make sure they leave home on time so that they can walk to the bus stop and arrive before the bus is due. Running can be dangerous.
  • Go to the bus stop with a young child and have older children walk in groups. There’s safety in numbers because groups are easier for drivers to see.
  • If your child must walk in the street, walk single file, face traffic and stay as close to the edge of the road as possible.
  • Don’t let your child play running games or push or shove at the bus stop.
  • Make sure your child stands at least 6 feet (3 giant steps) from the road while waiting for the bus.
  • If children must cross the street to the bus, remind them to wait for the driver to signal that it’s safe to cross.
  • Tell your child if they drop something near the bus they should never pick it up, instead, they should tell the bus driver and follow the driver’s directions. Remind children to look to the right before they step off the bus, other drivers in a hurry sometimes try to sneak by buses on the right.
  • Teach your children to secure loose drawstrings and other objects that may get caught in the handrail or door of the bus as they are exiting.

Remind your children that to be good bus riders, they should:
