Q. Why do school buses not have seat belts?
A. According to the study done by the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) in 2002 on the comparisons of compartmentalization and seat belts, installing seat belts would only save one life per year over compartmentalization. Since there are only 5 children on average that die in bus accidents yearly, installing seat belts on buses would cost the school industry billions of dollars. A question to consider is "would this money be better spent other places to save lives?" such as making traffic stop at stop arms. Fifteen children die per year crossing the road to the bus or home and a billion dollars spent this way may save more lives. See Spencer's Schools Stop Arm Study.
