Transportation Bus Safety Tips and Terminals
School Bus Safety Tips for Students, Parents, and Commuters!
Slow Down/Expect Delays:
- Expect school bus delays the first few weeks of school due to traffic congestion around campuses, schools regulating dismissals, and students becoming familiar with their bus drivers.
- Back to School Means Sharing the Road with additional traffic on roads, in school zones and on school campuses.
School Zones
- In a school zone when flashers are blinking, stop and yield to pedestrians crossing the crosswalk and pay attention to crossing guards.
Buses on the Road:
- If you're driving behind a bus, allow a greater following distance than if you were driving behind a car. It will give you more time to stop once the yellow lights start flashing.
- It is illegal to pass a school bus that is stopped to load or unload children.
- Never pass a bus from behind – or from either direction if you're on an undivided road – if it is stopped to load or unload children.
- If the yellow or red lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended, traffic must stop.
- Students should arrive at the bus stop 10 minutes early
Requesting Changes/Adding Bus Stop Locations:
- Major bus stop changes will be considered after September 2nd so routes can be stabilized and leveled.
- Many students are not enrolled until after school starts; therefore Student Transportation & Fleet Services cannot get a true analysis of the need until after that time.
- Parents are encouraged to contact the Transportation Liaison at their child’s school for bus stop/route information.
Transportation Terminals
Parents or students with questions about Transportation can visit browardschools.com/transportation or call the helpline of their assigned terminal:
North – 754-321-4000 (Routes beginning with 1000)
Central Area – 754-321-4480 (Routes beginning with 2000)
South Area Terminal – 754-321-4100 (Routes beginning with 3000)
Central West – 754-321-4150 (Routes beginning with 4000)
South West Terminal – 754-321-8025 (Routes beginning with 5000) -
