According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):
Every year, our nation’s 450,000 public school buses travel more than 4.3 billion miles to transport 23.5 million children to and from school and school-related activities. The record is impressive: American students are nearly eight times safer riding in a school bus than with their own parents and guardians in cars.(National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. “School Bus Safety: Crashworthiness Research.” April 2002.
