The Lakewood Student Transportation Authority is asking parents and educators to take a few moments to reinforce important school bus safety messages with students and children.

The safety reminders include:

• Sit properly and remain seated while the bus is moving
• Keep hands, arms, and heads inside the bus at all times
• Use respectful behavior and follow the driver’s instructions
• Keep noise levels low to avoid distracting the driver
• Board and exit the bus safely and carefully
• Respect the school bus and fellow passengers

The message was shared in partnership with Jackson Township, Lakewood Township, Howell Township, and Toms River Township schools and parents.
