Safety Tips
When Riding in a Bus or Car
  • Be aware of the street traffic around you. Drivers are required to follow certain rules of the road concerning school buses, however, not all do. Protect yourself and watch out!  
  • Have a safe place to wait for your bus, away from traffic and the street.
  • Keep a safe distance between you and the bus. Also, remember that the bus driver can see you best when you are back away from the bus.
  • Safety belts are the best form of protection passengers have in the event of a crash. They can lower your risk of injury by 45%. You are four times more likely to be seriously injured or killed if ejected from the vehicle in a crash.
  • Stay away from the bus until it comes to a complete stop and the driver signals you to enter.
  • Use the handrail to enter and exit the bus.
  • When being dropped off, exit the bus and walk ten giant steps away from the bus.
  • You might have heard before that most traffic crashes occur close to home - they do. 

When Walking to School
  • Be aware of the street traffic around you.
  • Mind all traffic signals and/or the crossing guard - never cross the street against a light, even if you don't see any traffic coming.
  • Walk with a buddy.
  • Walk your bike through intersections.
  • Wear reflective material - it makes you more visible to street traffic.
