From 2013 to 2022, there were 976 fatal school-transportation-related crashes, and 1,082 people of all ages were killed in those crashes — an average of 108 fatalities per year.
From 2013 to 2022, there were 198 school-age children who died in school-transportation-related traffic crashes; 35 were occupants of school transportation vehicles, 80 were occupants of other vehicles, 76 were pedestrians, 5 were pedalcyclists, and 2 were an “other” nonoccupant.
From 2013 to 2022, there were 1.5 times more fatalities among pedestrians (169) than occupants of school transportation vehicles (111) in school transportation-related crashes.
From 2013 to 2022, there were 111 occupants killed in school transportation vehicles; 50 were drivers, and 61 were passengers. Most (71%) of the people killed in school-transportation-related crashes were occupants of other vehicles involved in the crashes.
School buses are statistically the safest way to transport school children. Unfortunately, dangers still arise: From 2000-2022, there were 55 fatalities in crashes that involved a driver illegally passing a stopped school bus, an average of 2.4 fatalities a year. Almost half of those fatalities (25) were pedestrians who were 18 years old or younger.
