Building a culture of bus seatbelt compliance will be central to safety campaigns sparked by one of Australia's worst road crashes.
Ten wedding guests were killed and another 25 were injured when their coach rolled near Greta in the Hunter Valley late on June 11.
An interim report on NSW bus safety, ordered in the days after the tragedy, noted it was for forensic investigators to determine if the passengers were wearing seatbelts.
But the bus industry task force found seatbelt use across the industry could be improved.
Task force head John Lee said many drivers had already changed their behaviour following the shocking Greta crash.
"They actually stand in front of all the schoolchildren, especially for school specials, and make sure everyone has buckled up," he told ABC Radio on Friday.
"That's the campaign slogan, 'If you use a bus, use a belt', to make sure people buckle up before they travel."
While past campaigns emphasised that seatbelts saved lives, the report suggests future education should focus on how wearing seatbelts are not just a personal choice but a legal requirement when they are available.
Suggestions from the public included having uniformed police jump aboard school buses each year to advise students of their legal requirements, and mandating electronic monitoring of seatbelt fastening.
But the report says such suggestions could prove difficult to implement or pose funding challenges.
A regional school bus seatbelt program in outer metropolitan areas was recommended to continue.
The task force also called on the government to consider whether a rule limiting dedicated school bus services with standing passengers to 80km/h could be rolled out across all services.
Transport Minister Jo Haylen said all recommendations had been accepted.
Her department will introduce a seatbelt safety campaign this week, with a second campaign to coincide with peak holiday travel period.
John Gaffney, the father of the groom at the June 11 wedding, said wearing a seatbelt doubled the chance of surviving a crash and reduced the risk of injury.
"As someone impacted by the tragic crash in the Hunter Valley and someone passionate about road safety, I welcome this safety report and support the campaign to raise awareness about seatbelt use on busses," he said.
Ms Haylen said her heart was with the families and communities devastated by the Greta tragedy. The victims hailed from several states.
"I will continue to let their voices be heard as we work towards a safer future on our roads and public transport," she said.
The Greta crash, on the bend of a highway on-ramp, occurred late at night as guests were being driven home from a wedding reception.
It was the worst road disaster in Australia for nearly 30 years.
The bus driver, Brett Andrew Button, faces 62 charges over the crash and remains before the courts.
The bus safety task force's final report is expected at a later date.
