Love the Bus Month & Bus Driver Appreciation Week

School bus drivers across North Carolina will enjoy well-earned attention during School Bus Driver Appreciation Week, as individual schools recognize drivers’ key role with various events and celebrations.

 

Nationally, February is Love the Bus month, aimed to raise awareness and appreciation for the safe experience of riding the bus to and from school.

Dozens of events are planned to honor drivers, from hosting breakfasts to offerings of student-made valentines.

 

In North Carolina, more than 750,000 students board over 13,000 school buses each day. Their drivers must complete rigorous training and be certified to drive a bus.
