Resumen
Descripción
School bus safety is a community concern because parents expect their children to be transported to
and from school safely. However, relatively few studies have been devoted to examining the factors
contributing to school bus crashes. In this study, a logistic regression model is used to delineate
the factors that contribute to school bus collisions from collisions involving other types of buses.
As expected, we find significant differences in crash factors arising from differences in exposure
and operating characteristics. Surprisingly, we also find that school bus drivers are more likely to
commit driving violations or errors than non-school bus drivers.
