We do everything we can to ensure our employees put safety first, above all else. But, we don’t stop there. We also work to teach our passengers and their communities how to be safe—on and off the school bus.

We instruct K-3 students on proper entry and exit of the bus, emergency evacuation techniques and general school bus safety. By using live demonstrations, videos and educational materials, drivers teach students how to enjoy a safe trip to and from school. Students can also visit our website and learn school bus safety with fun, instructional games.

Throughout the year, our safety education programs focus on safety around the bus’s “Danger Zone,” emergency evacuations, and safe riding procedures. We are active participants in National School Bus Safety Week every October. We travel to various areas and teach children about school bus safety with the help of “Pride,” our Labrador retriever mascot. We conduct 30-minute shows to educate students from kindergarten to the third grade. The students are very attentive during the presentations and adore “Pride.” Our transportation professionals are also available to speak at classroom presentations or community organizations.
