School Bus Safety

One of the safest ways for your kids to get to school is on a school bus. Most injuries occur when kids are getting on or off the bus. Follow these tips to help ensure a safe ride:

• Be at the bus stop early so you aren't rushing
• Stand back from the road
• Get on and off the bus in single file. Don't push anyone to board more quickly
• Don't put your head or arms out the window
• Don't distract the bus driver and listen to their instructions
• Always cross well in front of the bus and make eye contact with the driver so you know it is safe to cross
