The verdict

First Student runs at 55% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical School bus services workplace, earning a grade B.

First Student: 2.5 TCR = 55% of School bus services BLS 4.5 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

First Student safety composite

First Student scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 76% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
