BUCYRUS, OH (CRAWFORD COUNTY NOW)—National School Bus Safety Week begins Monday, October 21 and runs through Friday, October 25. During this time, the Ohio State Highway Patrol will increase enforcement efforts regarding school bus violations. These violations include passing a stopped school bus, school zone violations and other school bus or school zone-related activity.
National School Bus Safety Week is supported by the National Association for Pupil Transportation and serves as a reminder to motorists, students and school bus drivers of the important role they all have in ensuring children’s safety. This year’s theme is “Safety First – Safety Always,” a unique reminder to both motorists and students about the dangers that exist outside the school bus.
“School Bus Safety Week serves as an important reminder that keeping Ohio’s children safe as they travel to and from school requires a collective effort,” said Governor Mike DeWine. “I encourage all drivers, parents, and students to stay vigilant, follow traffic laws, and work together to ensure everyone gets to their destinations safely.”…
