OPERATION SAFE STOP

DUE TO THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC, OPERATION SAFE STOP EVENTS SCHEDULED FOR APRIL 30, 2020, HAVE BEEN CANCELLED.  A new Event will be created when events are rescheduled.  Thank you for your continued efforts to keep our students safe!

Operation Safe Stop is aimed at educating the motoring public that passing a stopped school bus is dangerous and illegal. It is a combined effort of law enforcement agencies, school personnel, school bus contractors, traffic safety organizations including local traffic safety boards and the media to drive home this message.

NYAPT School Bus Driver Safety Festival

Call for Volunteers

NYAPT is proud and excited to  sponsor the Association's  School Bus Driver Safety Festival to be held on July 11, 2020 at the Maple Avenue Middle School in Saratoga Springs.  The Safety Festival Committee, chaired by Mike Klenotiz, Oneida City School District, along with the support of the Saratoga School District Transportation Department, have organized  an amazing event where drivers can display their skills and participate in meaningful  professional development opportunities!  All school bus drivers are invited to participate who meet the qualifications listed on the application form. 

A major component of the success of this event will be those who volunteer to help the day of the event.  We need judges, team leaders, registration desk workers, and more.  Support the drivers by signing up for a few hours of work with friends and colleagues.  Drivers who participate in this event will put a lot of effort into it so the least we can do is support them by helping out on that day.  Where else would you rather be on a beautiful summer day than in Saratoga Springs!  

Register here to volunteer! We hope to see you there!
