Free trafficking training for school bus drivers

Beginning July 1, 2025, the Office of Public Instruction provides free training materials for school bus drivers. The materials are made for school transportation and help drivers spot signs of human trafficking and report concerns to the right authority. The state uses courses built for school bus drivers and shared publicly at no cost. These materials are meant to be part of annual driver training. This improves safety for students who ride the bus.
