Overview
Forty-four percent of Ohio's students ride on school buses each day and over 14,000 buses provide safe transportation for children in the state. National studies show school buses are the safest method for transportation young people – nearly 30 times safer than passenger cars.
The success of school transportation in Ohio is a result of the contributions of all the members of school transportation teams, including school administrators, drivers, mechanics, secretaries, teachers, students and parents. Recognizing the challenges and the resources needed to continue to provide safe and effective pupil transportation, the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce (DEW) provides fiscal and technical support to Ohio schools.
