This Senate resolution formally designates September 2026 as "School Bus Safety Month" to raise awareness about the safety of the roughly 26 million K-12 students who ride school buses daily across the nation's largest mass transportation fleet. It highlights the work of the Child Safety Network, a 37-year-old organization that provides driver training, free safety and security resources, and educational videos for young students on topics like danger zones, safe boarding, and emergency evacuation. The resolution also calls attention to the serious problem of motorists illegally passing stopped school buses tens of millions of times each year, which endangers children. It encourages media outlets to broadcast public service announcements promoting child safety, recognizing bus operators, and urging safer driving near school buses. As a symbolic resolution, it does not create new funding, programs, or legal requirements but serves to honor school bus safety professionals and promote public awareness during the designated month.
