Bendix (Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC and Bendix Spicer Foundation Brake LLC) is proud to work with school districts and vehicle manufacturers across North America in pursuit of safer student transportation as NAPT marks National School Bus Safety Week Oct. 21-25. The theme of this year’s National School Bus Safety Week is “My School Bus – The Safest Form of Student Transportation.” The theme reflects National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) data showing that the classic yellow school bus is 70 times safer than walking, bicycling, or riding in a passenger car or light truck to and from school. “Even so, a single school bus collision is one too many,” said TJ Thomas, director of marketing and customer solutions – Controls, at Bendix, the North American leader in the development and manufacture of intelligent, integrated active safety, air management, and braking solutions for commercial vehicles. “Bendix and all its industry partners are working tirelessly to help keep student passengers safe, and to support the school bus drivers who oversee their daily travels.” -more- BENDIX EFFORTS SUPPORT MAKING SCHOOL BUSES EVEN SAFER Oct.

    Thomas Built Buses, Inc. 1408 Courtesy Rd. Contact: High Point, NC 27260 Maria McCullough Tel 336-889-4871 Daimler Trucks North America LLC www.thomasbus.com 803-578-3161 [email protected] Thomas Built Buses Company Background Thomas Built Buses was founded in 1916 by Perley A. Thomas, and quickly gained a reputation for building high quality streetcars. Within a few years, Thomas-built streetcars were in use in many of the major cities in the U.S. For nearly two decades Thomas was a major force in the industry, building more than 400 streetcars. In 1936, the company ceased production of streetcars and launched a new product: school buses. By the early 1960s, Thomas Car Works had built a national reputation in the school bus business. In 1972, the company changed its name to Thomas Built Buses to better reflect its success in bus manufacturing. Since the first Thomas Built bus rolled off the assembly line in 1936, the company has focused on delivering the smartest and most innovative buses in North America. That dedication has made Thomas Built a leading bus manufacturer in North America, offering a full line of school, commercial, specialty, childcare and activity buses to value-minded buyers. In fact, more than one-third of the school buses on the road today are Thomas Built Buses. Thomas Built continues to lead the industry through its ongoing introduction of new products to meet all its customers’ needs. The introduction of the Saf-T-Liner® C2 revolutionized the Type C category with its increased visibility, comfortable driver’s area and modern look and feel.
