Full description: Occupant Fatalities in School Buses; (Model Year 1997-2001); By Person Type. Source: FARS 1999-2000,

Table 2 presents the number of occupant and driver fatalities by year, from 1990 through 2000. On average, just over 10 persons are killed each year as occupants in school buses. Seventy-five percent of the fatalities are passengers. About 83 percent of these fatalities occur during school-related activities, while the remaining deaths are non-school-related. Also, during this same time, there were 6 fatalities in pre-1977 school buses.
