TY - JOUR PY - 2002// TI - School bus safety: where to from here? JO - Proceedings of the Australasian road safety research, policing and education conference A1 - Newman, S. SP - 195 EP - 199 VL - 6 IS - 2 N2 - n 1999 ARRB Transport Research was commissioned to review current practice and research in relation to school bus safety and to identify new or proven safety measures that may be used as part of a national approach to school bus safety. A key outcome of the study was the development of a draft National School Bus Safety Action Plan. Key tasks involved in the review included examining recent crash data, reviewing literature and recent developments pertaining to the safe travel of children in and around school buses and documenting the safety practices and initiatives implemented by each jurisdiction across Australia. Based on research findings, the action items proposed in the draft Action Plan were reviewed and rated in terms of: (a) the priority and effectiveness of the action in addressing common causes of fatalities associated with school bus travel, and (b) the resources and ease of implementation associated with undertaking the activity.
