Safety Lessons from School Bus Accidents with the NTSB

The school bus may be the safest form of ground transportation, but that doesn’t mean it’s invincible. When the worst does happen, we’re able to learn from what went wrong and take new actions to prevent similar tragedies down the road.

In this episode of The Route, we sit down with NTSB accident investigator Meg Sweeney to unpack how real crash investigations are driving change. We cover how factors like where we load and unload students from the bus, use of advanced technologies, and driver education on stop-arm laws and distracted driving can start to turn the tables on accidents and fatalities involving the school bus.

Key topics discussed:

- What the NTSB Does

- What We’ve Learned from Recent Crashes

- Why NTSB Supports Seat Belts

- Emerging Transportation Safety Issues
