Bus/Pedestrian Safety
School is back in session which means more school buses on the road.
With nearly 1.5 million students returning to the classroom this month across North Carolina, school bus safety is paramount.
This week, state leaders met in Raleigh to remind citizens of the important role they play in keeping our children safe.
Keep your heads up, your phones down, and be patient and alert.
