Do you SEE ME ?

From January 30 to February 18, 2012, the Association du transport écolier du Québec (ATEQ) will hold a school bus safety campaign in collaboration with many partners, including the Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec (SAAQ). The theme Do you see me? speaks directly to school children, who must make sure they are seen by the bus driver whenever they go near or get off a school bus. 

Children must also be seen by other road users, whether they are going to the bus stop or crossing in front of the bus. 

The greatest dangers in school transportation are outside the bus As a parent, you can help ensure children are safe whenever you drive near a school bus, whether you are on the road, in a school zone or in your child’s school yard. Always pay attention to signs and signals in school zones and surrounding areas, as well as in the school yard. Always remain vigilant near a school bus. Always abide by the rules of the Highway Safety Code, particularly near children. As a parent, regularly review the rules to observe around the school bus with your child.
