The National Transportation Safety Board has recommended adding alcohol detection systems to all new school buses to improve student safety. These systems can stop a bus from starting if the driver is impaired.
The recommendation comes as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen safety standards and prevent risks before they happen. Similar technology is already being used in other countries and in some vehicles to reduce impaired driving.
Safety experts say this type of technology could provide an extra layer of protection, helping ensure that every school bus journey remains safe and secure for students.
