Harrisburg, PA, August 25, 2016–  School is back in session and the Pennsylvania School Bus Association is reminding motorists to be extra alert for stopped school buses.

“The start of a new school year brings yellow school buses back onto our local roadways,” said Fred Bennett, PSBA President and owner of Fishing Creek Transportation, “We are asking drivers to be alert for school buses and school vans so we can be certain their precious cargo make their trip to and from school safely.”

Mike Berk, PSBA Executive Director added, “The commitment to safety demonstrated by school bus drivers and operators is the reason school buses continue to be the safest mode of transportation for getting children to and from school. PSBA wishes everyone a safe and successful school year.”   

The Pennsylvania School Bus Association was founded in 1980 and consists of over 350 school bus contractors and industry partners who have come together to be a strong voice for school bus safety and the school bus contracting industry.
