Happy National School Bus Safety Week! There's truly nothing we care about more than ensuring every detail-from the engineering under the hood to the mirror checks at every intersection-does its part to keep our passengers safe and sound.
Sharing this great reminder from IC Bus! It takes incredible vehicles, attentive drivers, and a supportive community looking out for flashing lights and stop arms to get our kids to school and back home safely every day.
Let's keep watching out for each other on the roads!๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ›‘
