PSA: We have always enforced running school bus stop arm violations but the penalties have increased. Be courteous and be safe. Most of all, help keep our children safe.

🚌 With buses back on the road transporting our most precious cargo, SAFETY is our No. 1 priority. Our local law enforcement agencies and school transportation team are working hand-in-hand to ensure everyone makes it to school and back home safely.🤝

⚠️ It’s important for all drivers to be aware of a new Missouri law taking effect today. Penalties have significantly increased for drivers who fail to stop for school buses when their stop-arms are extended and red lights are flashing.🛑

Please take the extra few seconds to stop. Let’s work together as a community to protect our students! 🏫❤️
