Top 10 Tips for School Bus Stop Safety
- Wear light colored clothes to bus stops for high visibility since power and lighting is limited.
- Use flash lights and other light devices on the way to the bus stop. Do not use candles.
- Cross streets only at corners, if possible.
- Do not cross streets in between piles of debris to avoid visibility problems with oncoming vehicles.
- Do not play in or with piles of debris.
- Leave early. For added safety, a parent should accompany children to the bus stop.
- If your bus stop is located mid-block, do not cross the street until after the bus comes to a complete stop, the stop signs and lights on the bus are activated, and oncoming traffic stops.
- Avoid any downed power lines.
- If your bus stop is blocked by debris, please go to the closest clear area and flag the bus driver down.
- Please allow at least 30 minutes for late school buses since traffic congestion and road conditions continue to be an issue. The following phone numbers can be called for late school buses weekdays from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
