Ohio School Bus Safety Grant Program | Ohio Department of Education and Workforce Ohio School Bus Safety Grant Program Ohio School Bus Safety Grant Program Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Ohio Department of Education and Workforce Director Stephen D. Dackin announced, on January 22, 2026, the award of $10 million in Ohio School Bus Safety Grants to 371 schools, districts, and county boards of developmental disabilities statewide.
The grants will help ensure safer travel for Ohio students through safety upgrades to existing buses and the addition of advanced safety features on new buses. “Whether students are in the classroom or on the school bus, we owe it to parents and families to do everything we can to keep them safe,” said Governor DeWine.
“We’re raising the bar for student safety on Ohio’s buses, and these grant awards demonstrate our dedication to making school transportation safer. ” The grant program was developed following recommendations from the Ohio School Bus Safety Working Group, which Governor DeWine convened to review all aspects of student transportation.
In its report issued in January 2024, Governor DeWine’s Ohio School Bus Safety Working Group concluded that while school buses remain the safest mode of transportation for students traveling to and from school, opportunities existed to make school buses even safer than they are today.
To accomplish this goal, the Ohio School Bus Safety Working Group recommended the state offer funding to districts to offset the costs associated with upgrading school bus fleets with safety equipment that meets specific needs. Read the full recommendations here .
