TRC1703 School Bus Stop Safety

Findings

  • Data collected from 2006-2014.
  • 2,165 Bus crashes in transit
  • 111 Bus stop crashes
  • 37 Pedestrian crashes
  • 148 Bus stop crashes recorded.
  • Only 11 had school bus stop signage
  • Incomplete data when trying to determine if signage existed.
  • Crash report did not always state signage status
  • Google Earth (Streetview) incomplete
  • Ground truthing is labor intensive and not feasible
  • Anecdotal conclusions need to be analyzed further and more

research is needed.

Conclusions and Ways Forward

  • Most crashes occurred due to distracted driving.
  • Correlation does not indicate causation.
  • Demonstration sites to be constructed and monitored
  • More Research
  • School district surveys
  • Analyze 2015-2016 data
