1) Support! by Louk on December 15, 2005Studies indicate that roadways are safer when roadway access is limited and the speed of the vehicles are relatively similar. This bill, when passed, will be a good thing for all of the motorists who share the freeways with our school buses, the safest form of surface transportation in the USA.
Thank you for passing this important bill.

Thank you.
