Nearly 40 million illegal school bus passings occur every year, putting students at risk in communities across the country. To kick off National School Bus Safety Week, Safe Kids Worldwide President, Torine Creppy, sat down with Rick Birt, the Vice President of Government Operations and Safety for Bus Patrol, to talk about how we can all help make the journey to and from school safer for children.
The National School Bus Safety Summit brings together the leaders who can change that through collaboration, shared learning, and practical action. If you share our commitment to raising awareness, changing behaviors, and ensuring every child has a safe ride to school and back home again, you can join transportation and safety leaders from across the country for two days of meaningful conversations, expert perspectives, and collaborative working sessions focused on protecting students on and around the school bus.
