YourVoice.Now Summary
A national TV and radio campaign warning drivers not to pass stopped school buses — paid from existing funds.
The details
Drivers who blow past a stopped school bus would become the target of a national ad campaign. The Transportation Department would have one year to launch it. The campaign would have to include television advertising, with time on national broadcasts. Radio, social media, and other advertising would also be part of the mix. The department could take steps to keep the campaign from being digital-only or limited to one region. No new money is authorized for the effort. The Secretary would pay for it out of funds already available for public safety messaging.
