Back to School Safety Tips
Riding
the Bus School bus transportation is safe. In fact, buses are safer than cars!
Even so, last year, approximately 26 students were killed and another 9,000
were injured in incidents involving school buses. More often than not, these
deaths and injuries didn't occur in a crash, but as the pupils were entering
and exiting the bus. Remember these safety tips:
- Have a safe place to
wait for your bus, away from traffic and the street.
- Stay away from the
bus until it comes to a complete stop and the driver signals you to
enter.
- When being dropped
off, exit the bus and walk ten giant steps away from the bus.
- 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.
- Use the handrail to
enter and exit the bus.
- Stay away from the
bus until the driver gives his/her signal that it's okay to
approach.
- 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!
