Creating Innovative Approaches to School Bus Safety: Valerie Higley’s Unique Approach and Cutting-Edge Solutions for the Transportation Industry

The transportation industry has been focusing on safety technology and training following a tragic rollover crash in Texas and a bus accident involving a bicyclist. It is crucial for those in the industry to stay updated and well-informed on the latest safety measures. One way to do this is by attending the STN EXPO this summer, where you can learn more about and discuss safety practices.

Valerie Higley, a school bus driver for First Student at East Lyme Public Schools in Connecticut, has taken an innovative approach to promoting school bus safety. She wrote a children’s book featuring her goat, Shaman, which she uses as a tool to educate students on the importance of safety while riding the bus. By treating students like her own and caring for their wellbeing while traveling to and from school, Higley has found a creative way to ensure their safety.
