"I leave my role as president fully confident that Dan, Patrick Dean (President-Elect), and the organization can see our newest initiative – the “Jackie Walorski Enhancing Necessary Data on Illegal School Bus Passing Act,” through to completion. I will continue my work as an Advocacy Team member, much wiser for the lessons learned as NSTA President."
Inspired by the efforts of the late Rep. Jackie Walorski of Indiana, new legislation has been introduced in Congress to battle illegal school bus passing.
We can't expect others to read our minds and know what we need. So learn how to advocate for yourself, your team, and your passengers.
It was the first regular in-person Bus-In for the association since before the COVID-19 pandemic struck.
Time will tell if these new technologies might eliminate the need for drivers of commercial vehicles, including school buses, but student-passenger safety remains a paramount concern.
"We did not get here overnight; there has likely been a quiet erosion of drivers following correct protocols around stopped school buses with several factors at work – including distracted driving and a lack of consistent continuing education requirements for drivers."
The National School Transportation Association considers this annual pilgrimage to Washington, D.C., as critical element of its federal advocacy efforts. It's planned for April 26-27.
The past two years have been anything but normal, and that required us to cancel our Bus‐In events for both 2020 and 2021. These cancellations did not mean that the association’s advocacy efforts shut down for the better part of two years.
