| It's National School Bus Safety Week! |
| National School Bus Safety Week kicks off today and with it comes a renewed effort to keep your kids safe on the school bus, the WTNH Web site in New Haven, Conn., reports.
This year's theme is avoid harm, obey the stop arm. It emphasizes the importance of drivers to follow the rules of the road and stop when the red lights flash. It's an important message when you think of the more than 400,000 children transported by bus to school each day in the state. The state has been cracking down on bus safety as well. Back in April News Channel 8 caught up with the state DMV as they conducted surprise inspections in Wallingford. Earlier in the year a similar surprise inspection uncovered problems in Hamden than were by all accounts rectified as a result of this crackdown. Communities across the state have planned awareness program for students and drivers to enforce the rules of the bus. (This item was posted on the WTNH Web site Oct. 19, 2009.) |
