Road To Success

New diesel engine standards make today’s buses 98% cleaner than buses manufactured just two decades ago. Today’s diesel fuels contain 97% less sulfur than the diesel fuels sold just a few years ago. By replacing an average 36 private vehicles per bus, school buses ease traffic congestion, reduce road wear, and reduce potentially harmful soot and smog-forming emissions to help prevent global warming.

Outstanding safety record - There is no safer way to transport a child than in a school bus. Fatal crashes involving school bus occupants are rare events, even though school buses serve daily in every community. Every school day, some 475,000 yellow school buses transport more than 25 million children to and from schools and school-related activities.
