• Getting In and Out of the Car:

○ Always use the door closest to the curb to prevent stepping into trac. 

○ Make sure your child waits until the car has completely stopped before exiting. 

• Walking Safely: 

○ Encourage distraction-free walking by asking your child to remove headphones and put away devices while crossing streets. 

○ Teach your child to stay alert, follow trac signals, and use designated pedestrian crossings. 

• Using the Bus Safely: 

○ Wait at the bus stop together, standing at least one step back from the edge of the road. 

○ Always meet your child at the bus stop on the same side of the road—never call them across from the opposite side. 

○ Wait for the bus to leave before crossing the street, ensuring it is safe to cross. 

• Using Wheeled Transport: 

○ Remind your child that helmets are mandatory when riding a bike in public—it’s the law. 

○ Encourage helmet use and protective gear for other wheeled activities, such as scooters, skateboards, and rollerblades.
