The Gardian Angel safety lighting system is now allowed for use on school buses in West Virginia.

The system, created by former school bus mechanic Steve Gardner, uses a white flood light mounted on the bus’s front bumper to illuminate the path for students to cross the street and to make the students more visible to motorists.

West Virginia is the 16th state to allow the lighting system as optional school bus equipment.

Gardner said that Matheny Truck Centers in West Virginia has installed 11 Gardian Angel units on Thomas Built school buses and planned a media day to demonstrate the system.
