• Abstract:
  Author's abstract: Crashes involving vehicles used in the noncommercial transport of persons for either school related or private group transportation present a small, but important, portion of the nation's motor vehicle crash experience each year. However, in 1989, police-reported crashes involving vehicles used for these purposes represented less than 1% of total police-reported crashes. Further, of the 45,555 motor vehicle related fatalities occurring in 1989, only 33 involved occupants of vehicles used to provide such transportation. This report provides a detailed summary of the crash experience of these vehicles from a variety of sources. Data are provided on vehicle use, their total police-reported crash experience, and their fatal crash experience. Data are provided for the period 1977-1989.
