School Bus Safety Program Resources
For States without school bus camera laws

Promoting Safer School Bus Travel in Your State

In your state, there's an opportunity to further enhance the safety of our children during their daily trips to and from school. Implementing stop-arm camera laws would help communities to tackle reckless motorist behavior around school buses and provide an additional layer of security for our young students.

What This Means

In the absence of stop-arm camera laws, there is a potential for reckless drivers to compromise the safety of our children by unlawfully passing school buses. Such hazardous actions endanger students who rely on the big yellow bus to travel safely to school each day.

What You Can Do

You have the power to make a difference and create a safer environment for our children. Here's how you can be a part of the change:

1. Spread Awareness

Share our Stop4MyBus video on social media to raise awareness and gather support. Join us in educating everyone on school bus safety and the significance of the Stop4MyBus initiative. You can also share the compilation video of real close calls captured in communities across the US, showcasing the real-life impact of inattention. Use #Stop4MyBus when sharing with friends and family to rally for change.
