Précis: Electronic version (Sep 1996) of a 1990 paper that helped to convince Amphitheater Unified School District Board (Tucson, Arizona) to put seatbelts in school buses.

SEATBELTS FOR SCHOOL BUSES

Please use any of the following links to dive into the "Seatbelts for School Buses" document. I suggest that you might first want to take a look at the Title page, but I hope that you will soon find your way to both the Table of Contents and the Index, both of which should help you to get around the document.

Enjoy!
