Every day, in communities all over the United States, schoolchildren ride buses to attend extracurricular activities. Commercial motor vehicles (CMV), whether they are yellow school buses or motor-coaches, are the safest passenger vehicles operating on the highway.
The purpose of the School Transportation Safety Assessment Checklist is to help school districts, Head Starts, school bus companies, parents, and government officials improve school bus safety in their communities.
