The prompt remedy of school buses involved in safety recall campaigns is of special concern to the agency because the student occupants of a school bus could be subject to multiple injuries or even loss of life if a recalled safety defect or noncompliance condition is not corrected in a timely manner. The main purpose of this program is to inform State Transportation Inspection Program Directors, State Pupil Transportation Directors, interested association groups, school district personnel, nonpublic school bus owners, parents, and members of the general public of the current safety recalls involving school buses.
School buses remain one of the safest forms of transportation in the United States.
The success of the School Bus Safety Assurance Program is dependent on the willingness of each of us concerned with the transportation of children to review the enclosed recall listing and make every effort to ensure that buses within our purview are corrected as soon as possible.
