U.S. to require shoulder seat belts on smaller buses
By 2011, all school buses weighing less than 5 tons must be equipped with shoulder-and-lap seat belts rather than the lap-only belts currently required, said U.S. Transportation Secretary Mary Peters. The change comes after four Alabama children died in a 2006 crash. The Department of Transportation estimated the changes to the smaller buses will cost about $6.1 million a year.
