School Bus Safety- Safety Services Nova Scotia

It's officially School Bus Safety Week! Our annual School Bus Safety Campaign raises awareness for vehicles illegally passing school buses while stopped with red lights flashing, also known as Red Light Violations. The goal is to educate the public on the dangers of these violations, to engage school-aged children by providing school bus safety rules in a fun way, and to encourage parents to take the initiative to learn about and teach school bus safety.

Remember: If the Lights are Flashing, Don't Be Passing!

Thank you to Government of Nova Scotia Department of Public Works and SOUTHLAND Transportation for supporting this important campaign!
