School Bus Safety Reminder Drivers must always stop for a school bus when the red lights are flashing & the stop arm is out. It’s illegal in every state to pass a stopped school bus. Kids are most at risk when they walk to/from the bus, so stopping keeps them safe!

The school year is nearly over! Parents — now's not the time to let your kids get too relaxed around buses. Double down on SAFETY. 🚌⤵️
