The First Light products will add to safer stops, IC Bus says.
"Safely transporting the children of our communities is a responsibility that IC Bus takes incredibly seriously," says Charles Chilton, vice president and general manager of IC Bus. "The improved driver visibility and dash-integrated safety systems were just a step in the journey. Making these First Light products standard equipment was a natural progression, considering their visibility impacts."
IC Bus says the First Light products have proven to reduce stop arm violations by enhancing motorists' recognition and reaction times as they approach a stopped school bus.
