National School Bus Safety Week and AISD’s Transportation Employee Appreciation Week are Oct. 17–21.

This year’s theme is “Stop on Red” to remind motorists not to pass school buses while loading and unloading students. Each year, AISD transports 22,000 students on more than 400 routes. During the 2015–16 school year, AISD buses covered more than 6.5 million miles.

AISD joins school districts and transportation agencies throughout Texas and the nation to recognize the importance of school bus safety. The transportation department will provide refreshments at each bus terminal in appreciation of our 640 team members’ hard work and dedication.

Please join us in celebrating AISD’s bus drivers and transportation professionals. If you Tweet, please mention @AISDBuses.
