We want to see how YOU are Getting There Green next week! Post in the comments how you'll be getting there green to let us know. Walking, biking, carpooling, taking transit, driving an EV, or however else you're getting there sustainably.

And next week, make sure to safely post a photo from your green trip and tag us in it for everyone to see how great green transportation can be.

Every time we post about school bus safety, the comments try to make it complicated.

It’s not.

When a school bus’s red lights are flashing, you stop.
Two lanes? Stop.
Four lanes? Stop.
Coming from the opposite direction? Stop.

You don’t squeeze past. You don’t look for a loophole. The comments section may debate it. The law doesn’t. Stop for the bus. Keep kids safe. It really is that simple. 🛑🚌
