NHTSA's school bus safety program is committed to reducing school bus-related crashes, injuries, and fatalities through both behavioral programs and vehicle regulations. NHTSA works to educate school bus drivers, students, and other motorists about safe behavior that reduces the risk of being involved in a school bus-related crash. NHTSA establishes and enforces Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards which make the school bus strong and enable it to better protect passengers.
