School Transportation Safety Infrastructure in U.S. Public Schools (2024–2025)

This chart highlights the availability of key transportation safety features, crossing guards, designated school zones, and sidewalks, around U.S. public schools as of the 2024–2025 academic year. The data illustrates the uneven implementation of basic pedestrian protections designed to safeguard students traveling to and from school.

**Although 84% of schools have marked school zones, fewer than half (43%) employ crossing guards, leaving a major gap in active supervision for student pedestrians. This imbalance reveals that infrastructure alone isn’t enough, human safety measures remain critically underutilized.
