It is important to educate local boards of education, lawmakers and the general public about the benefits of school bus transportation. Specifically:

1. The school bus provides access to the public schools that many students might not otherwise have.
2. The school bus is the safest way to get to and from school.
3. Students and staff benefit from improved air quality around the school with each bus replacing dozens of parent vehicles.
4. The community benefits by saving money using school bus transportation and with improvements to traffic around the school.
