In 1993, C-SPAN launched its Bus program as a way to bring the world of public affairs into schools and communities nationwide. Working with cable television partners across the nation, the two Buses have visited students, teachers, and citizens in all 50 states to discuss media, public affairs, and C-SPAN's programming and free educational resources.

 

Entering their 16th year as C-SPAN's Civics Buses, they continue to stop at schools, colleges, book festivals and other public events. These 45-foot long mobile multi-media demonstration centers are equipped with TV production units that can be used as studios during live programs, such as C-SPAN's Washington Journal. Students, authors, journalists, and national leaders have been interviewed aboard the Buses.
