Our children’s safety starts the moment they head to the bus stop.
Please remember these critical rules when you see a school bus on the road: Always stop when the red lights flash and the stop arm is extended. Both directions must stop on undivided roads—no exceptions! Watch for children walking near bus stops, loading, or unloading. Put distractions away and slow down in school zones and neighborhoods.
A few extra seconds of patience can save a life. Let's keep our kids safe together!
