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!
FACT: School Buses provided the safest form of transportation in the United States!

Don't hang out in the Danzer Zone!
STATE LAW STOP WHILE BUS IS LOADING AND UNLOADING
FACT: Most highway-rail grade crossings occur within 25 miles from home.
FACT: Know the length of your vehicle
to gauge whether it will fit across the tracks and clear them completely. It can mean the difference between life and death.
If it won't fit, don't commit.
FACT: Don't misjudge a train's speed and distance. Because of its large size, it
is an optical illusion to the eye, and it appears to be moving more slowly than it actual is.
FACT: A freight train
going 50 miles per hour can take over a mile and a half to stop. In perspective that represents over 25 football fields!
