The theme this year is also a reminder: safety doesnโt begin or end with the bus ride. Itโs about Safety at Every Stopโfrom the moment a child leaves their front door to the time they return home.
๐ Stay alert. - Slow down in school zones and neighborhoods.
๐ Stop for the bus. - Obey the stop-arm law every timeโno exceptions.
๐ Support accountability. - Technology and enforcement work hand in tandem to change driver behavior.
๐ Raise awareness. - Share facts, resources, and personal stories that open eyes and change hearts.
Let's all help keep our buses a safe place for our students!
