Founded in 2007 by the American School Bus Council (ASBC), the “Love the Bus” program is celebrated on Valentine’s Day in school districts across the country as a fun way to raise awareness and appreciation for the hundreds of thousands of school bus drivers who safely transport more than 26 million children to and from school each day.
