Encouraging school bus safety

Encouraging safe behaviour and practices on and around school buses can include:

• running a bus safety quiz, for students or students and parents
• giving safety awards to the bus drivers (drivers nominated by the students)
• giving out Safety and the school bus pamphlets
• putting school bus safety tips in school newsletters
• holding a competition to design a slogan for school bus safety
• providing regular reminders (e.g. at school assemblies) about safe school bus travel
• running a practical school bus safety training session. Include waiting for the bus to arrive, safely getting on and off the bus, and waiting for the bus to move off again.
