In New York, where seat belt use became mandatory January 1, 1985, seat belt use rates increased from 16% before the law to 57% 4 months after the law; fatalities decreased 19%, despite a modest increase in mileage driven (4).
In all, about 35,000 school buses transport 1.5 million school children daily. Texas approved a school bus seat belt law in 2007, which mandated that school buses bought on or after Sept. 1, 2010, be equipped with three-point seat belts, the kind that strap across the waist and shoulder. But the law wouldnât take effect unless the Legislature provided money to reimburse districts.
