S.4488

Federal SB4488 aims to enhance school bus route safety by integrating it into the safe routes to school program.

Federal SB4488, the Safe Bus Routes to School Act, amends title 23 of the United States Code to incorporate school bus route safety within the safe routes to school program. This includes infrastructure projects like sidewalk improvements and traffic calming measures, as well as noninfrastructure activities such as public awareness campaigns and traffic education. The bill also defines "school bus route" and updates the highway safety improvement program to include these safety initiatives.
