(STN Podcast E296) Technology Has Blossomed: School Bus Mirrors & Student Safety

School Transportation Nation – Episode 296

More updates on green bus funding from the EPA via the Clean School Bus Program. Plus, we dive into our March issue on optimization and efficiency, whose cover features the smiling school bus team from Loudoun County in Virginia.

We see mirrors on school buses every day, but how much have you thought about the decisions behind their placement? Dave McDonald, president of Safe Bus Consulting and retired executive vice president for Rosco Vision Systems, discusses everything from Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) 111 to driver distraction, plus techniques and technology for student safety in the Danger Zone. Hear more from him at STN EXPO East in Charlotte-Concord, North Carolina this month.
