Overview

Join CSEA and schools around the country as we recognize National School Bus Safety Week Oct. 16-20.

CSEA is a leader in advocating for student transportation safety in California, including sponsoring the 1968 law that requires all buses to carry the "Stop when Red Lights Flash" sign. Studies have proven that the most dangerous part of the school bus ride for children is when they get on and off the bus. Remember to pay close attention to school buses when you see them driving on the street and teach children how to be safe when boarding and exiting the bus.

CSEA is proud to represent more than 8,500 school bus drivers and other transportation workers. These dedicated employees ensure that school buses remain the safest form of transportation in America. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, students are about 70 times more likely to get to school safely when taking a bus instead of traveling by car.
