Research
shows that school bus transportation is safe, even
safer than cars. Most school bus related injuries
and deaths occurred as pupils were entering and exiting
the bus-not in a crash. Here are some safety tips
for children from the National Safety Council:
| Have
a safe place to wait for the bus, away from traffic
and the street. |
| Stay
away from the bus until it comes to a complete
stop and the driver signals you to enter. |
| When
being dropped off, exit the bus and walk ten giant
steps away from the bus. Keep a safe distance. |
| Use
the handrail to enter and exit the bus. |
| When
on the bus, find a seat, and be quiet. |
