The school buses are back and that means it’s time for all of us to pay a little more attention behind the wheel.
Today, AMR Western New York joined AAA Western and Central New York, local law enforcement and community partners to kick off the annual “School’s Open, Drive Carefully” campaign.
As students across Western New York return to the classroom, we’re reminding drivers to slow down, stay alert, allow extra travel time and use extra caution around school buses, bus stops, crosswalks and school zones. With new drivers also on the road, patience and awareness on our roads are more important than ever.
The annual “School’s Open, Drive Carefully” campaign has worked to reduce school-related pedestrian injuries and fatalities, a mission we’re all proud to support.
A special thank you to our local media for showing up today and helping us spread this important message across Western New York!
School is open. Let’s make sure everyone gets there, and home, safely.
