Fired Up


While added costs are always a concern for student transporters, several fire suppression options exist to increase school bus safety, especially for students with special needs who could require additional time to evacuate in event of an incident.


Craig Davidson, author and former special-needs bus driver, tells his story this month at the TSD Conference.


ON THE COVER The school bus industry continues to push the importance of WC18 and WC19 standards to provide complete securement safety to students transported in wheelchairs. National training at the vendor level and at this month’s TSD Conference aims to help spread the word.
