The bill would expand the federal Safe Routes to School program to specifically include improvements to school bus routes and safety measures. This would allow schools and communities to use federal funding to make bus stops safer, improve bus route planning, and address hazards that students encounter while waiting for or riding school buses. The changes would help protect students who rely on buses to get to school.
