Philadelphia council to vote on school bus seat belts

Dec. 6, 2007
Council is expected to pass ordinance requiring lap-and-shoulder belts on all city buses

The Philadelphia City Council is expected to pass an ordinance mandating lap-and-shoulder seat belts on all city school buses. If Mayor Street signs the bill, 35,000 public, private, and charter school students on 1,370 bus routes would be required to buckle up by September 2008. Street could, however, exercise a "pocket veto" and simply fail to sign the bill before his term ends.
