Accidents At School Bus Stops Highlight The Need For Better Safety Measures

School buses are by far the safest vehicle on roads today, but sadly students aren’t protected while loading or unloading the school bus or while they wait to be picked up. This issue has become more apparent than ever as bus stop accidents have caused one death and three injuries just this week.

School Transportation News has the details of the individual accidents, but these events underscore two things about school transportation. Exterior cameras on buses can help catch and prevent people from passing stopped school buses when loading and unloading students, and it is important for young students to be alert while waiting for the bus each day to protect against dangerous drivers.
