Back-to-school means more children walking, biking, and riding the school bus. It's time for all of us to be extra vigilant behind the wheel.
Recent survey findings show that 42% of parents reported seeing a close call involving a child in a school zone, and 33% have witnessed a near miss near a school bus.
To help kick off the school year, Mr Bus Driver and Matt Reich, Head of Growth and Strategic Partnerships for our School Bus Division, are sharing important reminders every driver should know to help keep students safe.
Whether you're driving through a school zone or approaching a stopped school bus, slowing down and staying alert can help protect children as they travel to and from school.
