Countdown to School Bus Safety Week: How to Protect Students Before the Holidays

School Bus Safety Week is just a few weeks away, but safety starts every day. While buses are highly visible (NHTSA confirms flashing red lights, stop arms, and mirrors), students remain the most vulnerable.

Pro Tips to Protect Students:

1. Visibility Gear: Encourage bright clothing and reflective backpacks.

2. Safe Routes: Audit walking paths and bus stop access for obstacles or poor lighting.

3. Parental Guidance: Teach kids to look left-right-left, avoid phones while crossing, and stay visible.

4. Technology Boost: Gardian Angel school bus lighting systems enhance student visibility, even in low-light conditions.

By preparing early, districts and parents can reduce accidents, near misses, and driver errorswell before the busy fall season hits.
