2008-09 Bus Accident Reporting System survey to open July 6, 2009: The TEA has created a new web-based survey for you to use in reporting this information. This survey is much different from the 2007–08 BARS survey in that it asks for summary level data rather than detailed, accident-specific information. The survey opens today, July 6, and closes August 31. It is available at http://ritter.tea.state.tx.us/school.finance/transportation/bars/bars_index.html. You may preview the survey's questions at http://ritter.tea.state.tx.us/school.finance/transportation/bars/0809_bars_preview.pdf
