Next week, school buses return to our roads. It's dangerous and illegal to pass a bus while it’s stopped with its red lights flashing. Please be a little more cautious as the school year starts. We all have a role in making sure our kids stay safe. #SchoolBusSafety

School is back ... and so are school buses! For some students, this is their first big ride and they're just learning the rules of the road. Please be extra careful around school zones, and when you see those red flashing lights.
