Operation Safe Stop
OPERATION SAFE STOP 2021!
Suffolk County Chapter of NYAPT hosted Operation Safe Stop on April 22, 2021, in Ronkonkoma, Long Island. NYAPT partnered with Suffolk County to announce the start of the County-wide stop arm camera program to begin on May 1, 2021.
Operation Safe Stop is aimed at educating the motoring public that passing a stopped school bus is dangerous and illegal. It is a combined effort of law enforcement agencies, school personnel, school bus contractors, traffic safety organizations, including local traffic safety boards, and the media to drive home this message. See NYAPT's Press Release regarding scheduled Operation Safe Stop Activities!

Stop for the Bus! It is estimated that over 50,000 private vehicles pass stopped school buses with red lights flashing on a typical school day. With schools currently moving from in-person to virtual learning and back again, school buses are on the road some days and not on other days, which could lead to confusion for other drivers. Stay alert - when you see a stopped school bus with red lights flashing, STOP FOR THE BUS! A child’s life depends on it! |
