Lower Merion Police, Schools Cracking Down On Bus Passing

ARDMORE, PA – Lower Merion Police and the Lower Merion School District are teaming up to crack down on unsafe and illegal school bus passing to keep students safe.

On Wednesday, Oct. 24, the two police and district will host Operation Safe Stop.

Operation Safe Stop is a public awareness and enforcement effort to educate the motoring public that passing a stopped school bus, when children are loading or unloading, is both dangerous and illegal.

Each year through Operation Safe Stop, law enforcement agencies, school transportation providers, pupil transportation associations, and PennDOT have combined their efforts to raise public awareness about the potential consequences and reduce the occurrence of illegal school bus passes.
