NYS Department of Motor Vehicles Governor's Traffic Safety Committee Can you put the safety puzzle pieces together? See the jigsaw puzzle page. This sign means you are near a crosswalk in a school zone. When school is opening in the morning and closing in the afternoon, the area around the school is a very busy and crowded. There will be many children using the crosswalk. Car drivers, bikers and in-line skaters must stop to allow people in the crosswalk to cross the street. It is important to look carefully to the left, right and left again if you have to cross the street. DANGER ZONES AROUND A STOPPED SCHOOL BUS When you are waiting for the school bus, you should wait at the bus stop, and stand well back from the curb. When you get off the bus: Look to the rear of the bus before you step off the bottom step. Our friends at the Pupil Transportation Safety Institute tell us that more and more motorists are passing stopped school buses on the right shoulder - where the door is. Take (five giant steps) straight out the bus door, and out of the danger zone.

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! CLICK HERE TO LEARN ABOUT THE "DANGER ZONES" AROUND A BUS.

NSC Home Online Resources Fact Sheet Index School Bus Safety Rules School Bus Safety Rules For some 22 million students nationwide, the school day begins and ends with a trip on a school bus. Unfortunately, each year many youngsters are injured and several are killed in school bus incidents. School bus related crashes killed 164 persons and injured an estimated 18,000 persons nationwide in 1999, according to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and General Estimates System (GES). Over the past six years, about 70% of the deaths in fatal school bus related crashes were occupants of vehicles other than the school bus and 20% were pedestrians. About 4% were school bus passengers and 2% were school bus drivers. Of the pedestrians killed in school bus related crashes over this period, approximately 77% were struck by the school bus. Of the people injured in school bus related crashes from 1994 through 1999, about 44% were school bus passengers, 9% were school bus drivers, and another 43% were occupants of other vehicles. Although drivers of all vehicles are required to stop for a school bus when it is stopped to load or discharge passengers, children should not rely on them to do so. The National Safety Council encourages parents to teach their youngsters these rules for getting on and off the school bus:

The information and programs included in this Resource Guide are arranged primarily around the intended audience for the information, although other groups and individuals may be interested in the material as well. Contents Introduction Programs for School Vehicle Riders and Caregivers Information and Programs for School Bus Safety Professionals Information and Programs to Promote Enforcement of School Bus Laws ... Acknowledgements Introduction Ontario's school population includes over two million students. Of those, over 800,000 use school buses every day. This includes children who are bused from rural areas and children who participate in special programs, such as French immersion, as well as those who use school buses for field trips. Research conducted by Transport Canada shows that school bus travel is one of the safest methods of transportation and is 16 times safer than travelling in the family car, based on the number of passengers and kilometres travelled. Although school buses have an excellent safety record, mishaps can happen, and injuries can result. These can include both children riding on the bus and children who suffer injuries as a result of being hit by their own school bus or by other vehicles.

FAQ Location: Ministry Home Road Safety Road Safety Topics School Bus Safety Smarts The following pages of information on School Bus Safety were prepared by the Ministry of Education and Training in collaboration with the Ministry of Transportation, Schoolbus Drivers and representatives of the Ontario School Boards. Stay out of the danger zone at all times! Never go near the bus unless the driver has given you the signal to come! Never, ever walk or play behind a vehicle! When you go near the bus, always, always be sure you can see the bus driver! If you drop anything in the danger zone leave it. Never, never stop to pick it up! Know the Danger Zones Every child must know the DANGER ZONES around the school bus. Children should never enter the DANGER ZONE unless the driver has given them permission. If a child can touch the bus, he or she is too close. If a child must cross the street, know all the rules to cross safely. The 10 Giant Step rule is a good measurement for children to identify the DANGER ZONE around the school bus, particularly when crossing in front of the bus.

20. SCHOOL BUS SAFETY GUIDE school bus safety GUIDE. School The reality of school bus safety is that more children are hurt outside a bus than inside one. The http://www.schooltrans.com/information/Safetyguide.htm

SCHOOL BUS SAFETY GUIDE School buses are one of the safest forms of transportation in the nation - nearly 2,000 times safer than the family car. Accidents are rare because school districts . . . and the school bus contractors who serve them . . . work hard to train drivers to avoid getting into accidents. In addition, the buses themselves are designed to withstand all but the most serious crashes without death or serious injury. With continued training to help children learn how to get on and off the bus safely - during National School Bus Safety Week each fall, or at other times during the year - parents and teachers can help prevent the remaining few accidents that now occur. The reality of school bus safety is that more children are hurt outside a bus than inside one. The child who bends over to retrieve a dropped school paper, or who walks too close to the bus while crossing the street, needs to be aware that every yellow school bus is surrounded by a danger zone. In many school districts, children are taught to escape from that zone by taking five giant steps as soon as they leave the bus. If they must cross the street after exiting, they're taught to cross in front of the bus - and to be sure they're able to maintain eye contact with the driver. Perhaps the most difficult thing to teach children, especially young children, is not to go back to pick up items they've dropped near the bus, or left on the bus.
