Text and illustrations are used to teach safe school bus riding practices. The guide begins with instructions to parents or guardians to set a good example of safe behavior, and to help children learn safety rules and be on time. Instructions to children concern obeying the bus driver, boarding the bus, riding the bus, crossing the road, and using the emergency exit. The final page of the booklet is a certificate, to be filled out individually for the student, stating completion of the Illinois school bus safety material. (MLF)
