5 Winter Mistakes Transportation Directors Can’t Afford to Make


When temperatures drop, so does visibility—and if your district isn't ready, small mistakes can become big headlines. Here are five critical errors to avoid this winter:
1️⃣ Ignoring lighting upgrades: If your fleet doesn’t have supplemental lighting, you’re behind. Kids can’t be safe if they can’t be seen.
2️⃣ Relying solely on cameras: Cameras record tragedy. Lighting prevents it.
3️⃣ Underestimating parent concern: Winter months see a spike in calls to school boards over student safety. Be proactive, not reactive.
4️⃣ Failing to train staff: Bus drivers need to know winter protocols—including how to navigate in low-visibility zones and use lighting systems effectively.
5️⃣ Postponing fixes: Winter is here. Delay costs lives.
