Many of those school buses do not have restraint systems or seatbelts. The American Academy of Pediatrics advocates having lap-shoulder belts on all new school buses and supports having adult monitors on buses. However, in a 2002 report to Congress, NHTSA recommended against lap-only belts in school buses because they can be risky, especially in small children, by restraining them high on the abdomen, potentially causing internal injury in a crash.

Because we entrust them with our children’s safety and lives, school bus drivers must abide by all transportation laws, including laws that prohibit speeding and consuming alcohol before or while driving. In addition, the companies that maintain public transportation vehicles like buses are liable for the safety of their vehicles.
