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.	據新華網報道，由國務院法制辦起草的校車安全條例草案于12月11日正式公布，即日開始征求民眾意見。
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.	國家將通過財政資助、稅收優惠、鼓勵社會捐贈等多種方式，支持農村地區為接受義務教育的學生提供校車服務。
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."	國務院法制辦有關負責人說：“校車是流動的校舍，學校應當對乘車學生的安全負責，并且配備校車的學校和為學校提供校車服務的單位是保證校車安全的主體，應當對校車的安全性負責。”
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)	草案還對校車賦予了三項優先權：校車運載學生時，交通警察應當指揮疏導校車優先通行；校車可以在公交專用車道以及其他允許公交車輛通行的路段行駛；校車需在道路上停車上下學生時，后方車輛應當停車等待。
