Back to School Safety Tips
RIDING THE BUS
School bus transportation is safe. In fact, buses are safer than
cars! Even so, last year, approximately 26 students were killed
and another 9,000 were injured in incidents involving school
buses. More often than not, these deaths and injuries didn't
occur in a crash, but as the pupils were entering and exiting the
bus. Remember these safety tips:
• Have a safe place to wait for your 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 between you and the
bus. Also, remember that the bus driver can see you best when
you are back away from the bus.
• Use the handrail to enter and exit the bus.
• Stay away from the bus until the driver gives his/her signal
that it's okay to approach.
• Be aware of the street traffic around you. Drivers are required
to follow certain rules of the road concerning school buses,
however, not all do. Protect yourself and watch out!
WALKING AND BIKING TO SCHOOL
Even if you don't ride in a motor vehicle, you still have to protect
yourself. Because of minimal supervision, young pedestrians
face a wide variety of decision-making situations and dangers
while walking to and from school. Here are a few basic safety
tips to follow:
• Mind all traffic signals and/or the crossing guard - never cross
the street against a light, even if you don't see any traffic
coming.
• Walk your bike through intersections.
• Walk with a buddy.
• Wear reflective material...it makes you more visible to street
traffic.
RIDING INA CAR
• You might have heard before that most traffic crashes occur
close to home ...they do.
• Safety belts are the best form of protection passengers have in
the event of a crash. They can lower your
risk of injury by 45%.
• You are four times more likely to be
seriously injured or killed
if ejected from the vehicle in a crash.
• Everyone needs to be buckled up
properly. That means older kids in seat
belts, younger kids in booster seats and
little kids in child safety seats.
