PennDOT and AAA, along with state and local police, gathered at Allison Park Elementary School in Houston on Tuesday for a sort of “Refresher Course” for drivers on school bus safety. PennDOT spokesman Jay Ofsanik says that since many schools were closed for a good portion of 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic, many motorists may have gotten used to not seeing school buses on the roads and they wanted to create a forum to remind drivers that school is starting and it is important to follow rules and regulations regarding school buses. In addition, Ofsanik says August is National Back to School Safety Month and they wanted to remind drivers that law enforcement will be on the look out for motorists who are not observing the laws pertaining to school buses.
