Safety tips as we share roads with school buses

As we share the road with school buses, keeping our community’s children safe requires a team effort from all drivers.

Please keep these crucial safety rules in mind every time you get behind the wheel:

  • Maintain a Safe Distance: Always stay a safe distance behind school buses so you have plenty of time to stop when they prepare to load or unload.
  • Obey Speed Limits: Strictly adhere to local school zone speed limits to protect children walking to and from their stops.
  • Go Hands-Free: Follow all hands-free cell phone laws to eliminate distractions and keep your eyes entirely on the road.
  • Watch for Pedestrians: Be extra vigilant for young, unpredictable pedestrians walking near bus stops, crosswalks, and sidewalks.

Let’s work together to ensure every child gets to and from school safely!
