National Teen Driver Safety Week is October 20-26 and reminds us of the unique challenges faced by young drivers. Inexperience makes teens more susceptible to crashes, with risks including impaired driving, not wearing seatbelts, distraction, peer passengers, speeding, and drowsiness. Parents, educators, and community leaders: your influence is crucial. Engage with teens about safe driving practices and lead by example. Together, we can empower our young drivers and create safer roads for all.

Did you know this week is National Walk to School Week? ??????♂? Kids and parents are being encouraged to ditch the rides and take a walk to school instead! Walking to school offers a wide range of benefits, ranging from physical health to environmental sustainability for our climate. It promotes daily exercise, enhances mental well-being, reduces traffic congestion, and gives a sense of independence to children. Walking to school also creates opportunities for children to connect with their peers and communities and enhances road safety awareness. ?? Here are some tips on how to stay safe walking to school; 1.) Choose the safest route! 2.) Always check your surroundings 3.) Look both ways when crossing and use crosswalks wherever possible! 4.) Carry a phone or safety alarm! 5.) Wear bright clothing to be more visible to drivers! 6.) Walk to school with friends/family or create a buddy system so that you do not walk alone! 7.) Avoid strangers and dark, quiet places! #walktoschoolweek #vsgroup #school #roadsafety

As the school bell rings and children return to school tomorrow, let's prioritise safety together! Parents and kids are stepping into a new routine after almost two months of summer break. Some little ones may be experiencing their very first day at school – kindergarten, primary, or secondary, adding an extra layer of excitement that can lead to unpredictable behaviour. Here are some friendly reminders to ensure a safe back-to-school transition: ?? Observe the 40km/h speed limit in school zones and pay attention to school signs. With children walking, biking, exiting buses, and buzzing with excitement, let's not forget the basics of road safety. ?? If your child is riding to school, make sure they wear a helmet. ?? Always use zebra crossings or traffic lights when crossing the road, and remind kids to look both ways. ?? For our littlest learners, holding a parent/guardian's hand when crossing the road is a must. ?? When getting off the school bus, ensure kids cross the road safely – drivers might not easily spot them. ?? Stay focused while driving – no talking or texting on the phone. ?? Remind children about "stranger danger" – no talking to or accepting rides from strangers. Let's all contribute to a safe return to school in 2024 by keeping road safety at the forefront of our minds. #BackToSchoolSafety #CommunitySafety #RoadSafetyFirst

I will be the first to say our bus drivers do a fantastic job. I do not want to create fear but Proactive safety is always better than Reactive safety. My purpose of inventing an emergency egress system was I saw the need to reduce evacuation times so students and drivers can exit the bus with a safe slope rather than jumping off the rear edge of the bus in the event to escape the black toxic smoke/fire, weapons,unauthorized passengers and other real life emergencies. #proactiveapproach #2busfiresdaily #21stcenturysafety #nsta #busevacuations #noseatbelts #emergencypreparedness #safetyfirst #bussafety #egresssystem #decreaseevacuationtimes #kidsfirst #firesafety #Bluebirdcorp #IC #Thomasbuilt #proactivesafety #blacktoxicsmoke #stn #northpointNC #maconGA #navistar #busdriversheroes

As schools all over the area get back in session - Pennsy wanted to remind you that we can all help get kids back to school safely. ?? ?? By practicing safe driving techniques, we can influence road and travel safety for ourselves and those we share the roadway with. Here are some tips to help you drive safely this school season! ?? ?? Stay Alert and Mindful: As school starts, be extra vigilant around school zones and bus stops. Kids can be unpredictable, so stay alert, avoid distractions like phones, and obey lower speed limits to ensure their safety. Maintain Safe Distances: Keep a safe following distance behind school buses and other vehicles. This gives you more time to react if a sudden stop is needed, and it prevents tailgating, creating a safer environment for everyone. Obey School Zone Rules: Pay attention to school zone signs and flashing lights. Reduce your speed to the posted limit, both during drop-off and pick-up times. Remember, these measures are in place to protect our children and create a secure school environment. Let's work together to make this school year safe and enjoyable for all!
