Safety issues plague Minnesota's largest school bus provider

Nearly 1 in 8 school buses operated by First Student, Minnesota's largest student transportation company, failed to meet state safety standards this year.

First Student's failure rate of 12% exceeded the statewide average of 9%, according to the latest inspection data from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety. As a result, 141 buses from First Student's fleet of 1,160 were pulled from the road until the repairs were addressed.
