Protecting Children One Violation at a Time

As we head into a new school year, it’s the perfect time to revisit one of the most important responsibilities we share as a community: keeping children safe as they travel to and from school. Every school day, hundreds of students rely on school buses, and their safety depends on all of us following the rules of the road — especially when it comes to stopping for school buses.
