Draft school bus safety regulations, drawn up by the State Council Legislative Affairs Office, were released for public comment in China on December 11, Xinhua reported.	据新华网报道，由国务院法制办起草的校车安全条例草案于12月11日正式公布，即日开始征求民众意见。
Through financial support, preferential taxes, encouragement of donations and other means, the country will provide school bus services for students receiving compulsory education in rural areas.	国家将通过财政资助、税收优惠、鼓励社会捐赠等多种方式，支持农村地区为接受义务教育的学生提供校车服务。
The spokesman for SCLAO said: "The school bus is a mobile schoolhouse, so the school should be responsible for the safety of traveling students. As the school buys school buses and the company provides school bus services, both entities should be responsible for the safety of buses."	国务院法制办有关负责人说：“校车是流动的校舍，学校应当对乘车学生的安全负责，并且配备校车的学校和为学校提供校车服务的单位是保证校车安全的主体，应当对校车的安全性负责。”
The draft lays out three priorities for school buses: when a school bus is carrying students, traffic police should let it pass preferentially; a school bus can travel in bus lanes and other special channels reserved for public transport vehicles; when a school bus stops on the road to release or pick up students, vehicles behind it must stop to wait. (China.org.cn December 13, 2011)	草案还对校车赋予了三项优先权：校车运载学生时，交通警察应当指挥疏导校车优先通行；校车可以在公交专用车道以及其他允许公交车辆通行的路段行驶；校车需在道路上停车上下学生时，后方车辆应当停车等待。
