School is back in session, which means busy mornings, afternoon pickups, and school buses back on our roads. 🚌📚
Clair Campbell is reminding everyone to give yourself a little extra time and stay alert behind the wheel. Watch for buses making frequent stops, children waiting near the roadway, and students who may cross unexpectedly.
On a single school day in 2025, 2,745 drivers illegally passed a stopped school bus on North Carolina roads. When it comes to the safety of our children, even one is too many. 🚌💙

A few extra seconds of patience can make all the difference. Slow down, put the distractions away, watch for children, and STOP when a school bus has its red lights flashing.
School is back. Buses are back. Let’s all do our part to make sure our kids get to school—and back home—safely.
