School buses are designed with safety in mind — from flashing stop-arms to high-visibility yellow paint and protective seat backing — but it's more dangerous for students to get ON and OFF the bus. 🚏 Here's how you — the driver — can help keep our kids even safer: 🛑 Stop for school buses. 🚸 Slow down in school zones and near bus stops. 📵 Stay focused and put away your cell phone.

Once you start noticing the signs, you can’t unsee them. 👀🚧 Slow down. Stay alert. Every sign in a work zone is there for a reason. #WorkZoneSafety #SlowDown

SHARE this critical school bus safety info. ⚠️🚍 Beware of the "Danger Zone" around a school bus. Drivers, it may be hard or impossible to see a child in the "Danger Zone" — and that’s why you should NEVER pass a stopped school bus! ↔️ The zone can extend based on the location of the bus stop. ↔️

In 31 states and DC, holding your phone while driving isn't just dangerous — it's a primary offense. That means police can pull you over and ticket you just for having a phone in your hand. ⤵️

Are you aware of the risks of drowsy driving? Crashes often happen when drivers are alone, especially between midnight and 6 a.m. or in the late afternoon. Prioritize your rest and drive safely! Stay Alert, Stay Alive - Don’t Drive Drowsy

On a 100-degree day, the inside of a parked car can reach deadly temperatures in minutes. 🌡️🚨 It's critical to prevent a child hot car tragedy with these simple rules: 🟡 Lock up — even at home. 🟡 Keep key fobs and car keys out of reach. 🟡 Teach kids that cars are not play areas. If you see a child alone in a vehicle, call 911 immediately.
