Safety Starts with You
- Always wait for the bus or train in a safe spot. Stay away from the track or the street.
- Let people get off before you get on.
- Hold on to a railing or strap once you’re inside.
- If you drop something, ask an adult or the driver for help. Don’t grab it yourself.
- Don’t play around roads or tracks.
- Look out! Be kind, and check both ways before you cross the street.
When everyone follows the rules, riding is fun and safe!
