As we return to school, please remember that Stop Means Stop for School Buses! When school is in session, do your part to keep kids safe. The Ohio Traffic Safety Office reminds us: Under Ohio law, drivers must stop when a school bus is dropping off or picking up students. School bus drivers who see someone run the stop sign will report the vehicle’s license plate number and incident location to law enforcement, which could lead to criminal charges. #STOPmeansSTOP
