Your Precious Cargo…
Those big yellow buses will be hitting the streets again soon, some armed with GPS tracking
devices that will make them more efficient and easier to predict than ever. This means an
easier, more convenient school year for parents, and a safer school year for kids, but it’s
important to remember that those buses are carrying precious cargo.

All drivers are responsible for
our children’s safety.

seem to forget, especially near the beginning of the school year when the buses aren’t
expected.

Pennsylvania Safety Guidelines

– Motorists following or traveling alongside a school bus must also stop until the red lights
have stopped flashing, the stop arm is withdrawn, and all children have reached safety.
– If physical barriers such as grassy medians, guide rails or concrete median barriers
separate oncoming traffic from the bus, motorists in the opposing lanes may proceed
without stopping.
– Do not proceed until all the children have reached a place of safety.

Is it really worth getting fined?
Drivers in violation of these policies are looking at a $250 fine, five points on their driving
record, and a full 60-day suspension of their driver’s license.
