This National School Bus Safety Week, the Susanville Police Department reminds drivers that when a school bus stop-arm is out
and the red lights are flashing, drivers must come to a complete stop until the red lights are off, and children are on or off the bus and
safely out of the road. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), from 2000–2024, 63 people were killed in crashes involving a driver illegally passing a school bus with flashing red lights. Among those killed, 27 were people 18 years old or younger. Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
