Operation Safe Stop
Operation Safe Stop and National School Bus Safety Week will take place October 19–23, 2026

Operation Safe Stop (OSS) is a statewide enforcement campaign that is conducted in conjunction with National School Bus Safety Week. Participating police agencies work with their local school districts during the week to provide education and enforcement for their communities. OSS enforcement efforts focus on drivers who ignore the flashing red lights and extended stop-arm of a school bus that is picking up or dropping off students.

Drivers should prepare to stop when they see the overhead flashing yellow lights of a school bus and stop at least 20 feet away from a bus when the overhead lights are flashing red. Drivers who pass stopped school buses may be charged with civil infractions carrying a fine up to $500. Drivers who pass a stopped school bus and cause an injury face a misdemeanor charge and a fine up to $1,000 and/or up to one year in jail. Drivers who pass a stopped school bus and cause a death are subject to a felony with a fine up to $7,500 and/or up to 15 years in jail.

Operation Safe Stop is a collaborative effort between Dean Transportation, the OHSP, and the Michigan Association of Pupil Transportation.

This past week, our crews participated in Swift Water Rescue Training.

This hands-on training gives our emergency personnel the skills and knowledge needed to safely operate and execute rescues in fast-moving natural water and flood environments.

Just another valuable tool in the OTFD toolbox to help us provide the best possible service to our community and neighbors.

It’s almost that time of year when we’ll once again see school buses and children heading to and from school. Please be aware of some additions near Hamilton Middle School to further improve school traffic safety. Help keep everyone safe and pay attention at crossings and school bus stops!

🚸 As the new school year approaches, you’ll notice a new flashing school zone sign on 136th Avenue near Hamilton Middle School. When the lights are flashing, the speed limit is 25 MPH.

Thank you for slowing down and helping keep our students, staff, and families safe as we head back to school! 🖤💛
