Back-to-school season is here, and it’s a great time to refresh safe travel habits with your kids—no matter how they get to school.
🚶 Walking
Stick to sidewalks, use crosswalks, make eye contact with drivers, and walk with friends when possible.
🚲 Biking
Helmets are a must. Ride with traffic, stop before crossing, and choose routes with fewer intersections.
🚌 Bus riders
Stand at least 6 feet from the curb, wait for a full stop before boarding, and never walk around the bus without the driver seeing you.
🚗 Drop-off
Follow school zone speed limits, stick to the drop-off flow, and never pass a bus loading or unloading students.
🧑✈️ Teen drivers
Seatbelts on, phones away, and always follow speed limits.
A few simple reminders can make a big difference in keeping students safe this school year.
