NATIONAL SCHOOL BUS SAFETY WEEK

OCTOBER 18, 2021 - OCTOBER 22, 2021

DID YOU KNOW???

SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS COUNT THE STUDENTS AT THE STOP AND THEN RECOUNT AS THEY ENTER THE BUS TO ENSURE NO ONE GETS LEFT BEHIND OR LOST.  MAKE SURE YOUR STUDENT IS WAITING FOR THE BUS IN THE DESIGNATED PLACE OF SAFETY SO THEY ARE VISIBLE TO THE BUS DRIVER.

MORE THAN 25 MILLION CHILDREN RIDE THE YELLOW BUS EVERY SCHOOL DAY.

THE MOST DANGEROUS PART OF THE SCHOOL BUS RIDE IS WHEN A STUDENT IS OUTSIDE THE BUS.  SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS WILL SIGNAL STUDENTS WHEN IT IS SAFE TO COME TO THE BUS.  DRIVERS WILL CHECK TRAFFIC AND MAKE SURE STUDENTS ARE SAFE TO WALK ON THE ROADWAY.

 STUDENTS SHOULD NOT USE CELL PHONES, EAR BUDS, OR BLUE TOOTH DEVICES WHILE ENTERING OR EXITING THE BUS SO THEY CAN PAY ATTENTION TO TRAFFIC.

SCHOOL BUSES HAVE A DANGER ZONE.  THIS IS THE AREA ON ALL SIDES OF THE SCHOOL BUS AND EXTENDS 10' OUT FROM THE BUS.  STUDENTS SHOULD NEVER HANG OUT IN THIS AREA AS THEY COULD BE INJURED IF THE BUS MOVES.  IF STUDENTS DROP SOMETHING IN THIS DANGER ZONE, THEY SHOULD NEVER PICK IT UP.  INSTEAD, THEY SHOULD ALERT THE DRIVER WHO WILL GIVE THEM INSTRUCTIONS.

DRIVERS WILL NEVER USE A WIRELESS DEVICE BEHIND THE WHEEL OF A SCHOOL BUS.  IF THERE IS A PROBLEM, THE DRIVER WILL PULL THE BUS OVER AND MAKE SURE IT IS SECURE BEFORE USING A CELL PHONE.

IN JOHNSTOWN, 10 BUSES AND VANS TRANSPORT APPROXIMATELY 1000 STUDENTS DAILY TO AND FROM SCHOOL
