School bus safety is a high priority in Pennsylvania. Students, parents, teachers, administrators, transportation personnel and the motoring public all play important roles in keeping our children safe while on or around the school bus.
Route 11 North of Shippensburg Will be closed beginning Aug 14, 2019. Detour signs are in place. Route U.S. 11 to be closed between Stoughstown Road and Big Spring Road for up to 103 days. Expect the road to be closed for bridge replacement in Stoughstown until mid November 2019
Children often find unique places to play. Piles of leaves in the street should not be one of them. Do not allow children to play or hide in the leaves which are out for pickup. Alternatively, do not intentionally drive through piles of leaves.
The weather will be changing before we know it. Please utilize caution when driving in wintery conditions. Slow your speed, increase following distance, and drive carefully. 4×4 makes vehicles GO, not makes vehicles STOP.
Prepare for the snow in advance. If there is a snowstorm, do not utilize this time for errands and regular shopping. Please allow the plows time to clear the roadway.
Do not leave unattended vehicles running to warm up. This allows a potential car thief easy access to steal your vehicle.
Remember to update your addresses on your PA identification cards, driver’s license, and vehicle registrations.
With winter approaching, please check tire tread and tire pressure to promote safer driving conditions.
As the start of the school year approaches, please pay attention to the school buses that will again be on the roads and children standing close to the road while awaiting the bus.
Autumn is a great time to check the function of smoke alarms and replace the batteries.
Remember to monitor your children when they play outside, as the sun will begin to set earlier each day.
