A school transportation-related crash is a crash which involves, either directly or indirectly, a school-bus-body vehicle or a non-school bus functioning as a school bus, transporting children to or from school or school-related activities. Since 1994, there have been about 413,169 fatal traffic crashes. Of those, 0.32 percent (1,341) were classified as school transportation-related. Since 1994, 1,479 people have died in school transportation-related crashes-an average of 134 fatalities per year. Most of the people who lost their lives in those crashes (70%) were occupants of other vehicles involved. Non-occupants (pedestrians, pedal-cyclists, etc) accounted for 22 percent of the deaths, and occupants of school transportation vehicles accounted for 8 percent.
