This week is School Bus Safety Week, a helpful reminder regarding the importance of keeping our children safe on their commutes to and from school. We encourage everyone to stay alert and follow common sense safety guidelines:
- Stop for school buses with flashing lights—it’s the law, and it saves lives.
- Stay alert in school zones and watch for children crossing the street.
- Teach children proper safety procedures, such as waiting for the bus to stop completely before approaching and looking both ways when crossing the road.
Join me in raising awareness surrounding keep everyone on Illinois roadways safe!
