Letter from MCPS Department of Transportation to all students and parents
What you/your student should know about riding the school bus
Maryland State Police and the Maryland Center for School Safety remind motorists to stop for school buses. Pay attention when driving, especially in school zones during times of day when school
buses are typically on routes. Stop when a bus stops for a routine stop. It is illegal to pass a school bus when its red lights are flashing. Prepare to stop when the school bus is flashing its yellow lights and be cautious of students moving towards buses during these times. Students of all ages are unpredictable. Therefore, prepare for the unexpected and maintain a safe distance from school buses at all times.
