Key Points

  • This bill, introduced by Representative Stauber, would require the Department of Transportation to create a nationwide advertising campaign. The goal is to teach drivers about the dangers of passing school buses when they are stopped to pick up or drop off children.
  • The campaign would use television commercials on major national networks, radio ads, and social media posts to reach as many people as possible. It specifically requires more than just digital downloads to ensure the message gets out to a wide audience.
  • The program would be paid for using money already set aside in a previous infrastructure law. This means it would not require new taxes or additional government spending beyond what has already been approved.
  • This effort aims to reduce accidents and keep students safe as they travel to and from school. Every year, thousands of drivers illegally pass stopped buses, putting children at risk of being hit by a vehicle.
