First Time Rider Safety Program
The Annual First Rider Program is presented by the Operator’s Association each August just before school begins. It provides first time riders and their families with an introduction to school bus riding procedures and safety through a videotape presentation, a question and answer session, and a bus ride for the family. It is a free program open to both riders and children who walk to school.
The First Rider Program is open to both bused students and walkers. This valuable program includes a short video, a question-answer period, and a short bus ride. These sessions are scheduled for 9am, 10am and 11am, and are approximately 45 minutes in length.
