🛑 STOP Means STOP 🛑
Keeping our students safe is everyone’s responsibility. When a school bus has its red lights flashing and stop arm extended, drivers must STOP and stay stopped.
Passing a stopped school bus isn’t just dangerous—it’s against the law and can have life-changing consequences. A few extra seconds of patience can protect a child’s life.
🚌 See the lights. See the stop arm. STOP.
❤️ Kids ride. Communities thrive.
Please help us spread the word by sharing this important reminder with friends, family, and fellow drivers.
