The EU Project SAFEWAY2SCHOOL aims to design, develop, integrate and evaluate technologies for providing a holistic and safe transport service for children on their way to and from school. The project aims to encompass tools, services and training for all key actors within this approach. One important work step within the project is to identify which regulations are already in force, which equipment there is in school buses and at school bus stops, and if there is training or information on safe use of school buses. This Deliverable 9.2 “Application Guidelines” gives an overview of the present situation and existing guidelines concerning school transport in the participating countries Austria, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland and Sweden. In Activity 9.2, the Austrian Road Safety Board (KFV) together with the Swedish Transport Administration (STA, Sweden) developed an inventory in order to collect: Design rules and safety features of school buses; Design rules and safety features of school bus stops; Regulations and guidelines targeting safe use of school buses, addressing teachers, parents and pupils. This inventory consists of four parts, which are namely: school transport in general; different kinds of school buses; school bus stops; and safe use of school buses. For data collection, Activity 9.2 asked SAFEWAY2SCHOOL project partners to provide information on a country level regarding the four topics. Project partners and country experts from different institutions contributed to this task. The results show that the situation on school transport varies a lot between the countries. In principle there are two modes of school transport in force in most countries: (1) School transport within line operation; (2) School transport by purchased buses. The legal framework regarding school transport is quite complex. In most of the countries, the topic is covered, for example, not only in the traffic code, but also in passenger transport law, licencing law, motor vehicle law and education law. Regarding school bus equipment, there are some EU Directives in force. For school bus drivers new regulations also exist on EU level. Several regulations are only valid for school transport by specially purchased school buses and so cannot be applied to school transport conducted by line operation. Regulations on school bus stops vary a lot between countries. There is also a great difference if bus stops of line operation are used as school bus stops. School transport is a topic in mandatory road safety education in Austrian primary schools and there is a legal regulation in Sweden on training pupils if they go by purchased buses. Germany has high level recommendations on education and training. In Germany, Austria and France a variety of voluntary measures exist not only for pupils, but also for adults (who become bus guards) and school bus drivers. Another task of Activity 9.2 was collecting Best Practices in participating countries. Within a special workshop, Best Practice criteria for measures or regulations regarding school buses, school bus stops and safe use were defined. An inventory sheet was developed and data collection was carried through in autumn 2011. Evaluation studies for measures are rare. Due to this fact, the term “Good Practice” was introduced if measures complied with most of the criteria but do not have an evaluation study. The Deliverable provides examples of Best and Good Practices for: school bus equipment and school bus regulations; equipment of school bus stops; training for drivers; training for pupils and adults; as well as information sources for different user groups.
