Keep Our Kids Safe: National School Bus Safety Week
October 17-21
School buses are the safest way to transport children, yet more injuries occur outside or near a school bus because a motorist has failed to obey the law.
In every state, it is illegal to pass a school bus while the stop-arm is extended, and the red lights are flashing. As a reminder, drivers should always come to a complete stop until the stop-arm is retracted and the red flashing lights have stopped.
This is just a reminder to help keep our kids safe, so please slow down and obey the signs. For more information about school bus stop safety, please visit www.nhtsa.gov/road-safety/school-bus-safety#the-topic-bus-stop-safety
