Early morning bus stops are one of the highest-risk times for student injuries. Low light, distracted drivers, and rushed routines all combine to create hazards.

Key Points:

• Visibility is critical: students should wear reflective jackets or LED clips

• Face traffic while waiting, and avoid stepping off the curb until the bus driver signals

• Bus drivers rely on students being visible first, not just the bus itself

• Schools can educate students and parents on safe morning routines to reduce risk

The bus is highly visible. Are your children? Focus on proactive visibility to protect the most precious cargo.
