How are you using the Internet to improve your program? I use the Internet frequently to get timely information straight from the source. I find the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Website (www.nhtsa.gov) especially helpful in finding information to share at our monthly safety in-service meetings. Linda Thompson Transportation director Fort Osage R-1 School District Independence, Mo. We use the Internet to help locate addresses we cannot find on our own.

I also use the Internet to keep up with information from the California Association of School Transportation Officials (www.castoways.org).

I also encourage the drivers to investigate the different school bus-related sites. Marty Hess Transportation director Urbana (Ohio) School District
