Priorities Shift with Back to School

By Todd Mouw, president of ROUSH CleanTech

The pandemic has certainly altered the way kids will return to school
for the 2020-21 school year And that includes changes with school bus
transportation

Student transportation, the largest transit system in the country, has fo-
cused consistently on safety first. In today’s world, the meaning of school
bus safety has shifted Usually, it means ensuring a safe ride for students,
installing features like rollover protection and cross-view mirrors, and
switching to clean fuels to reduce harmful diesel emissions Safety priorities now are refocused to pro-
tecting the health of students and employees against the coronavirus

Across the nation, school districts are implementing coronavirus task forces They are sharing insights
and strategies about the technology, supplies and programs that districts need to educate students
during the pandemic To help guide school districts, top school bus association representatives have
created Student Transportation Aligned for Return to School (STARTS) Its purpose is to develop specif-
ic recommendations and best practices and resources that are useful to the school bus industry as it
works to respond to the unprecedented challenges of school reopenings in the context of COVID-19
