Every school day, millions of children take their seats on a yellow school bus—the safest way to and from school. Yet safety doesn’t stop at the bus doors. It requires every driver, every lawmaker, every community member to take responsibility. When red lights flash and the stop-arm is extended, we all have one simple choice: stop.
In conjunction with National School Bus Safety Week, the Highway Safety Office at MoDOT requests law enforcement agencies throughout Missouri to crack down on school bus stop-arm violations and step-up enforcement efforts during a School Bus Stop-Arm Enforcement Campaign. Agencies are then encouraged to continue enforcement efforts of the school bus stop-arm law after the campaign period, throughout the year.
