As the new school year begins, safety measures for school buses are being emphasized across various states. In Iowa, drivers are reminded to obey school bus signals, with strict penalties for violations, including fines and potential license suspensions. In Michigan, bus drivers are undergoing extra training, including virtual simulations, to ensure they are well-prepared for safe transport, with a focus on real-time tracking technology to enhance communication. Parents are reassured by transportation officials that their children will be safe with trained drivers. Meanwhile, Ohio districts are reviewing safety measures after a tragic crash last year, with some implementing new safety recommendations following a task force’s report. Overall, as school buses return to the roads, both drivers and school districts are taking proactive steps to ensure the safety of students.
