Here’s what some of the experts had to say…

	“School bus safety is everyone’s responsibility. School buses transport Florida’s future and we need to work together to ensure the safety of our children on Florida’s roadways.” -- Colonel David Brierton, Director, Florida Highway Patrol.
	“Recognizing road and weather conditions and using well-maintained equipment by drivers of large vehicles can help reduce the incident of crashes on our roadways. Whether you are behind the wheel of a big rig or a school bus, you must always buckle up and maintain control your vehicle to ensure the safe maneuvering around other traffic and pedestrians—experience matters.” -- Mary Lou Rajchel, President, Florida Trucking Association
	"Motorists, parents and students all need to be aware of the integral role they play in school bus safety. It is especially important that parents discuss the school bus safety rules with their children to ensure they get on and off the bus as safely as possible. By taking simple actions, we can all do our part to reduce the number of school bus-related injuries and fatalities." -- Leticia Messam, Manager of Traffic Safety Programs, AAA Auto Club South
