Preventing Pedestrian Injuries and Deaths Among School Bus Riders
Source: Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center (PBIC)
Provides an overview of research related to school bus rider pedestrian injuries and deaths. As currently no data collection system exists to count the number of child pedestrians hit by a motor vehicle while walking to or at the bus stop, the research team conducted a media scan, examined polices of six school districts, and conducted interviews with three transportation directors.
Supporting data summarized in this report can be found in the Pedestrian Injuries and Deaths Among School Bus Riders Media Scan Data. PBIC conducted a media scan of student pedestrian injuries and deaths sustained traveling to or at school bus stops in order to create a fuller picture of the characteristics of pedestrian injuries and deaths for this group.
