National School Bus Safety Week
Posted Date: 10/22/25 (2:22 PM)
During National School Bus Safety Week, the Ohio Association for Pupil Transportation (OAPT) has joined forces with the Michigan Association for Pupil Transportation, National School Transportation Association, Roush Fenway Keselowski (RFK) Racing, Blue Bird Corporation, and ROUSH CleanTech to send a powerful, unified message to drivers across the country:
Stopping for a school bus is not optional—it’s the law.
In just one day during the 2024–2025 school year, 114,239 bus drivers across 36 states and D.C. reported 67,258 vehicles illegally passing stopped school buses. When extrapolated nationwide, that equates to over 39.3 million violations per year—a slight improvement over last year’s 45.2 million, but still deeply concerning.
“Even with these corrected numbers, the illegal passing of stopped school buses continues to be the greatest safety danger to children,” said Mike Stier, President of NASDPTS. “Regardless of the number, 39.3 million violations is simply too many.”
The school bus remains the safest form of student transportation, but it requires the cooperation of all road users to keep it that way.RFK Racing Driver Ryan Preece Reminds Motorists to Prioritize Student Safety
