A school-transportation-related crash is a crash that 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. In this fact sheet “school–age” children are defined as children 18 and younger. This fact sheet includes 10 years of data, from 2006 to 2015. Information on school-transportation related crashes is presented as follows: * Overview * Person type * Age group * School age fatalities by time of day * School bus occupant fatalities by impact point and crash type * School bus occupant fatalities * Vehicle maneuver and pedestrian fatalities. This fact sheet contains information on motor vehicle fatalities and fatal crashes, based on data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS). FARS is a census of fatal crashes in the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico (although Puerto Rico data is not included in this factsheet). (Author/publisher)
