Students are finally back in school!

And while this is an exciting team for students (and parents), that means more children and buses will be on the roads. The greatest risk to a child isn’t riding a bus, but approaching or leaving one. From 2008 to 2017, there were 264 school-age children killed in school-transportation-related crashes. The majority of those students weren’t on the bus; 203 were either walking, waiting for the bus, biking, or in another vehicle.

Lancaster Sheriff's Station would like to remind parents to SLOW DOWN & STOP FOR SCHOOL BUSES!

Remember:
• Yellow flashing lights mean slow down because the bus is preparing to stop. There are likely students waiting to get on the bus or parents waiting nearby to pick up children.
• Red flashing lights mean STOP. Children will be getting on or off the school bus. Stay stopped until the red lights stop flashing, the extended stop-arm is withdrawn, and the bus begins moving.

Even when lights aren’t flashing, watch for children whenever you see a school bus. Be alert as you back out of a driveway, or drive through a neighborhood, school zone or bus stop. Give yourself some extra time to get where you're going to allow for slow driving and stops around buses.

Let this school year be great, SAFE year for everyone!

Lancaster Sheriff’s Station polices the City of Lancaster, Antelope Valley College in Lancaster, and the unincorporated communities of Antelope Acres, Lake Los Angeles, and Quartz Hill in the Antelope Valley.
