Pedestrian Safety

Be safe this school year!

It’s back to school and that means as parents, community members, and drivers we need to be cautious and mindful of children loading and unloading busses, and also families and children walking to school. Here are some great tips and resources to refresh your pedestrian safety knowledge and help you teach your child how to be safe!
