Back to School Means Sharing the Road 
It’s that time of year again—kids are heading back to school! Every day, millions of children ride the bus to and from school, and it’s important we all do our part to keep them safe.
Did you know? The school bus is one of the safest vehicles on the road—less than 1% of all traffic fatalities involve children on school transportation.
But here’s the catch: the most dangerous moments are when kids are getting on or off the bus. 
Let’s work together—drivers, parents, and students—to make sure this school year is a safe one. Slow down, stay alert, and always stop for school buses when required.
Safety starts with awareness!
The Health Department is open late the first and third Wednesday of each month 7:30am to 6:00pm
