The
RCSD Transportation Department and Buster the Bus promote
bus safety in our schools by providing instructions to students
in the district on how to safely wait for, cross in front of,
climb the steps and ride school buses to and from school.
Buster,
an animated little bus, blinks its eyes and flashes its lights
while talking to the students about bus safe
General Rules (from the NHTSA
on bus
safety)
1. Students should ALWAYS walk 10 feet in front of
the bus, NEVER behind the bus.
2. Students should ALWAYS be at least 5 giant steps (about
10 feet) away from the side of the bus while waiting for the
bus or immediately after disembarking.
3. If a student drops something, he or she should tell the
bus driver and NEVER try to pick it up.
4. Student should NEVER run to catch the bus.
"The students seem to listen more intently to
Buster when he talks to them about bus safety," explains
bus driver Wendy Drumm.
