What happens when drivers don't stop for a school bus? For Ball-Chatham school bus driver Cindy Morris, it's something she's seen firsthand, cars illegally passing her stopped bus while children are loading and unloading. In those moments, the risk is immediate and real.
A Change You Can See
Since installing the BusGates® stop arm, Cindy has noticed a clear difference.
Drivers are slowing down.
They’re stopping.
They’re paying attention.
What used to feel unpredictable is now becoming safer for the students she’s responsible for every day.
When asked about the impact, Cindy doesn’t hesitate:
“Add them 100%. You are cutting down so much risk for the safety of our kids.”
Her perspective is simple, yet powerful. It’s what she sees on her route every day.
Why It Matters
Bus stops are one of the most vulnerable moments in a student’s day. Increasing visibility and capturing driver attention can make all the difference in preventing dangerous situations before they happen.
That’s why BusGates® is on a mission to protect students at every stop.
