🚸 Back to School = Back to Bus Safety 🚌

As the new school year kicks into gear, here's a reminder for all drivers: be extra cautious around school buses.
It's time to stay alert and watch out for school buses and children on the roads.

Every time a school bus stops, it’s picking up or dropping off precious cargo. When the red lights are flashing and the stop arm is out, you must stop — it’s not just the law, it’s about keeping kids safe!

A few reminders for all drivers:
🔸 Slow down in school zones
🔸 Stay alert near crosswalks and neighborhoods
🔸 Never pass a stopped school bus — from either direction

Let’s all be patient, stay focused, and make safety a priority. A few extra seconds could save a life.
