Walking to the Bus Stop

• Allow extra time in the morning to get to your stop on time.
• Wear bright clothing so the bus driver and other motorists can see you in the early morning and late evening.
• Dress properly for the weather.  Winter clothing, hats, mittens and boots will help you keep warm.
• Watch traffic while walking to your stop.  Vehicles may lose control in the snow and ice and you need to be aware of your surroundings.
• Stand back from where the bus stops.  Buses need extra room to stop when there is snow and ice.

Waiting at the Bus Stop

• Be cautious at the bus stop.  Snow and ice accumulates under the powder and it is easy to slip and fall.
• Don’t throw snowballs at the bus, other vehicles or people.
• Don’t slide on the snow or ice patches in driveways or on the street.  You could accidently slide under the wheel of the bus, another car or get hurt.
• Don’t push and shove around the bus.  Someone could fall down on the ice or fall beneath the bus.

Entering and Exiting the Bus

• Use the handrail when boarding or exiting the bus to prevent slipping on the wet steps.
• Keep the windows rolled up to prevent frostbite.
• Listen to the driver at all times as they must pay extra attention to the road conditions and other vehicles.
