Taking Safety to the Next Level As part of Blue Bird's Next Level Safety announcement, a school bus crash test was performed at IMMI's premiere testing facility, CAPE, in Westfield, Indiana. The simulated crash test demonstrates the added safety Blue Bird buses provide passengers in the event of an accident when equipped with three-point seat belts and driver air bags, compared to the dangers passengers face without the added safety features. Watch the video to see the importance of making the safest vehicles on the road even safer for passengers, drivers, and everyone on the road.

An electric bus made its debut in a small town in Nebraska for free, thanks to a federal grant. The zero-emission bus met Wymore, a town of about 1,300, with concern, but has since proven itself over the operation of the last few months of the school year. Read Dionne Searcey's The New York Times article about the Blue Bird bus in her hometown, and the community’s thoughts on technological innovation, climate action and change: https://hubs.ly/Q02G0d1R0 📸: George Etheredge
