Safety Laws Boost Cost Of School Buses
Safety requirements for next year's school buses may push price tags beyond reach for many districts. Prices have already risen 25 percent or more due to higher raw materials, with further hikes from padding and guard railings. A 66 passenger bus now costs 14 000 to 16 000, varying by state. Officials warn some districts may operate 10-year-old buses as costs rise.
