The National Association
for Pupil Transportation
Statement on Seat Belts on School Buses

"NAPT still supports the position that was adopted by special resolution of the delgates of the 11th National Conference on School Transportation (NCST) in 1990 and reaffirmed by the delegates of the 12th NCST in 1995 that federal, state and local governments should discourage the mandatory installation and use of seat belts on large school buses until scientific research proves seat belts to be more effective in preventing injury that compartmentalization."
