~26 billion student trips are taken on school buses each year in the U.S.
Despite that massive scale, the NHTSA reports only about 6 school bus occupants die annually in crashes on average — making fatal incidents like the Polk County crash statistically rare and deeply significant.
Most U.S. school buses still aren't required to have seat belts.
Federal law requires seat belts in cars but exempts large school buses. Only 8 states mandate them on new buses. Safety advocates have pushed for reform after fatal crashes for decades.
