Thank you to all drivers for helping to keep our students and buses safe! #eips

Red flashing lights are used throughout @EIPS, with the exception of urban Sherwood Park and the City of Fort Saskatchewan.
School bus safety is everyone's responsibility.

Monday, May 4th is School Bus Driver Appreciation day in Alberta. Thank you for all you do to keep kids safe on the journey to and from school.

[EIPS Transportation @eipsST]

Do you know where to stop for a school bus with it's red lights flashing?

[Transportation and Economic Corridors @ABTransComm]

In rural areas, buses routinely use their red lights to allow children to cross the road safely.

Failing to stop for a school bus with its alternating flashing red lights activated is $543 & six demerit points. #ABRoads #drivingtips

@ErinDiLoreto Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We will definitely look into it.
