 Mrs. Fischer (for herself and Mr. Peters) submitted the following 
 resolution; which was considered and agreed to

_______________________________________________________________________

 RESOLUTION

 Designating October 2025 as ``School Bus Safety Month''.

Whereas, in an average year, on every school day in the United States, 
 approximately 500,000 public and private school buses carry more than 
 25,000,000 K-12 students to and from school;
Whereas school buses comprise the largest mass transportation fleet in the 
 United States;
Whereas, in an average year, 48 percent of all K-12 students ride a school bus 
 for each of the 180 school days in a year, and school bus operators 
 drive school buses more than 4,400,000,000 miles;
Whereas the Child Safety Network (referred to in this preamble as the ``CSN''), 
 which is celebrating 36 years of public service in the United States, 
 supports the CSN Safe Ride campaign, which is designed to provide the 
 school bus industry with driver training, the latest technology, and 
 free safety and security resources, including resources to help parents 
 raise safer and healthier children;
Whereas the designation of School Bus Safety Month will allow broadcast and 
 digital media and social networking industries to commit to 
 disseminating public service announcements that are produced to--

    (1) provide free resources designed to safeguard children;

    (2) recognize school bus operators and professionals; and

    (3) encourage the driving public to engage in safer driving behavior 
near school buses when students board and disembark from school buses;

Whereas key leaders who deserve recognition during School Bus Safety Month and 
 beyond have--

    (1) provided security awareness training materials to more than 14,000 
public and private schools;

    (2) trained more than 125,000 school bus operators; and

    (3) provided more than 175,000 counterterrorism guides to individuals 
who are key to providing both safety and security for children in the 
United States; and

Whereas School Bus Safety Month offers the Senate and the people of the United 
 States an opportunity to recognize and thank the school bus operators 
 and the professionals focused on school bus safety and security in the 
 United States: Now, therefore, be it
 Resolved, That the Senate designates October 2025 as ``School Bus 
Safety Month''.
