Frank W. Cyr, PhD (July 7, 1900 – August 1, 1995) was an American educator and author known especially for his contribution to school busing. As a specialist in rural education, he organized the United States' first national standards conference for school transportation in 1939, starting what became an ongoing cooperative effort by those building and operating school buses. One of the most memorable accomplishments of the conference was a move to develop and standardize a highly visible color for the buses and their markings to help identify them to other motorists. Afterwards, Dr. Cyr became known as the ''Father of the Yellow School Bus''. ==Rural youth, education, professor== Cyr, born July 7, 1900, was a native of Franklin, Nebraska.
