The State Department of Education’s Student Transportation Department announced that Governor Brad Little has signed a proclamation seeking to make Idaho’s roads safer for students traveling on school buses.
By declaring October 16 – 20 School Bus Safety Week, Governor Little helps highlight the need for drivers to slow down, be aware of their surroundings and always watch for bus stop arms and signals. School Bus Safety Week, in tandem with the State Department of Education’s Student Transportation Department, elevates the issue as the days get shorter and Idahoans once again encounter commutes that include school buses, crosswalks and school zones.
