*Buses operate with monitors
**Not including Chicago, IL since its buses have just one belt for 2 – 3 seat
occupants.
*** West Windsor-Plainsboro was visited by NHTSA’s Project Manager, but not by the
contractor
and, therefore, is not included in the numbers quoted by the contractor.
****Five Vermont school districts (Middlebury, Worcester, Peachem, Waltsfield Elementary
and Weathersfield operate at least one belted bus; information was not gathered about
their programs.
