The Federation of Transport Bus and Safety Campaign 2015
The Federation of Quebec Schoolbus companies annually organize an annual provincial safety campaign to remind students and drivers alike of the importance in practicing safe behavior on and around school buses.
This safety awareness campaign takes place during the first two weeks of February.
Kids Rules for the School Bus
I go to the bus stop early to avoid running.
I stay in line to wait for the bus without shoving others.
I wait until the bus has come to a full stop before approaching it.
I get on the bus in single file and hold onto the handrail.
I go straight to my seat and sit down. I leave nothing in the aisle.
I avoid distracting the driver.
I keep my things in my bag.
I keep my head and my arms inside the bus at all times.
I do not throw food or other things out the window or onto the floor of the bus.
I remain seated at all times until the bus has come to a full stop.
I move away from the bus as soon as I get off, and I stay away from the wheels.
I count ten steps after getting off the bus before crossing in front.
I make sure the driver has seen me before I cross in front of the bus.
I always check for traffic from the left, to the right and to the left again before crossing the road.
I always wait for the driver’s okay before trying to get something that dropped or that has rolled under the bus.
I do not distract or speak to the driver unless urgent
I wait until the bus has left before picking up the object.
I never go behind a school bus.
