Safety Cloud® for School Buses

Providing students with safe passage when they need it most

Riding the bus to and from school every day is an important part of life for many school-aged children. It’s where they catch up with friends before school, get in one last study session before a big test, and experience the excitement leading up to a field trip.

Being on a school bus is second nature for children. But for a school bus driver, it comes with a grave responsibility.

That’s because drivers are more distracted than ever. They text, eat a meal on the road, fiddle with the radio, and more. When drivers operate their vehicles distracted, they pose a significant threat to children entering and exiting the school bus.

Traditional analog alerting like lights and sirens are not enough to quickly capture a driver’s attention anymore. These methods typically give drivers less than three seconds to safely react. 

Enter Safety Cloud® digital alerting.

Safety Cloud  sends drivers digital alerts up to 30 seconds before they come into contact with a roadway hazard, such as a stopped school bus. This gives drivers extra time to safely slow down and move over. Studies show that advanced warning systems like digital alerting can reduce the risk of collision by 90 percent compared to traditional lights alone.
