SAFETY MONTH”
Mrs. FISCHER (for herself and Mr. Peters) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to:
S. Res. 944
Whereas school buses comprise the largest mass
transportation fleet in the United States;
Whereas, in an average year, 26,000,000 K-12 students ride
a school bus every day, and school bus operators drive school
buses more than 3,800,000,000 miles;
Whereas the Child Safety Network (referred to in this
preamble as the “CSN”), which is celebrating 37 years of
public service in the United States, supports the CSN Safe
Ride campaign, which is designed to provide the school bus
industry with driver training, the latest technology, and
free safety and security resources, including resources to
help parents raise safer and healthier children;
Whereas CSN is providing free downloadable video education
to tens of millions of kindergarten through sixth grade
students on danger zones, safely boarding and disembarking
from school buses, emergency evacuation, pedestrian safety,
and preventing bullying aboard school buses;
Whereas billions of student boarding and unloading events
occur each school year;
Whereas motorists illegally pass stopped school buses tens
of millions of times annually, placing students entering and
exiting school buses at risk, and CSN continues to work with
local, State, and Federal authorities, institutions of higher
education, school transportation professionals, and other
safety partners to identify, evaluate, and advance evidence-
based countermeasures and technologies intended to reduce
these preventable threats;
Whereas the designation of School Bus Safety Month will
allow broadcast and digital media and social networking
industries to commit to disseminating public service
announcements that are produced to—
(1) provide free resources designed to safeguard children;
(2) recognize school bus operators and professionals; and
(3) encourage the driving public to engage in safer driving
behavior near school buses when students board and disembark
from school buses;
Whereas key leaders who deserve recognition during School
Bus Safety Month and beyond have, according to the CSN—
(1) provided security awareness training materials to more
than 14,000 school districts;
(2) trained more than 131,000 transportation professionals;
and
(3) provided access to more than 181,000 counterterrorism
guides to individuals who are key to providing both safety
and security for children in the United States; and
Whereas School Bus Safety Month offers the Senate and the
people of the United States an opportunity to recognize and
thank the school bus operators and the professionals focused
on school bus safety and security in the United States: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate designates September 2026 as
“School Bus Safety Month”.
