Indiana bus safety patrols getting results

Nearly 2,500 additional safety patrols have been conducted in Indiana this school year, a joint effort of local school bus drivers, district transportation officials, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The extra patrols are part of the Hoosier State’s Stop Arm Violation Enforcement program to keep kids safe. It’s against the law in Indiana for motorists to pass a stopped school bus with red lights and stop arm extended.

A total of 1,553 warnings and 1,701 citations have been issued.

Additional patrols will resume this spring as schools go back to meeting in person.
