1. Remain in your seat until the bus arrives at your designated bus stop.
2. Once the bus has stopped, proceed promptly and orderly to the front of the bus.
3. Be careful when stepping down on slippery steps in wet weather.
4. Use the bus handrails at all times when exiting the bus.
5. Be careful that clothing with drawstrings and book bags with straps do not get caught in the handrails or doors.
6. If you have to cross the roadway, cross in front of the bus. Walk at least three giant steps (6 feet) away from the side of the bus and then at least five giant steps (10 feet) in front of the bus. Wait for the driver to give you the universal crossing signal before you begin to cross.
7. Always look in both directions for oncoming vehicles before crossing.
8. Never cross the roadway behind the bus.
9. Be sure that the bus driver can see you at all times. Wait for the driver to give the universal signal before you begin to crossing.
10. If you drop something near the bus, tell the bus driver. Never try to pick it up without telling the driver because the driver may not be able to see you.
11. Walk directly home by the safest route. Do not go to your mailbox or to a friend's house.
12. Beware of moving vehicles and pedestrians exhibiting unusual behavior.
