Why do buses not have seat belts?
Why do buses not have seat belts? School buses are equipped with a passive restraint system called compartmentalization that means that the seating area of a school bus is built with specially padded high-back, wider, thicker seats that protect students in school buses during accidents.
What age group wears seatbelts the least?
Young adults (age 18-24) are less likely to wear seat belts than those in older age groups.
How long is too long of a bus ride?
IDEA does not define length of bus rides and what is appropriate. Some states do define how long a child can legally be on a school bus, and most have it capped at one hour. You will have to research your state's regs to see if they exist and if your district is in compliance.
