Released during National School Bus Safety Week 2025, the Ohio Association for Pupil Transportation (OAPT) and the Michigan Association for Pupil Transportation (MAPT) collaborated with RFK Racing, Blue Bird Corporation, and ROUSH CleanTech to highlight a critical safety reminder for all motorists: when a school bus stops, traffic must stop—it is required by law.

This public service announcement features RFK Racing driver Ryan Preece, who reinforces the message that school bus safety applies to everyone, including professional drivers. With illegal school bus passings occurring far too often nationwide, spreading awareness remains a vital step in keeping students safe as they load and unload each day.

🎥 OKAPT was not involved in the production of this video, but we are proud to share it in support of our transportation partners in Ohio and Michigan and to help extend the reach of an important safety message.

The Oklahoma association maintains a firm commitment to education that promotes accident prevention and injury avoidance. We sincerely hope that through standardized drivers’ education courses (both online and onsite) and the adoption of best safety practices, Oklahoma pupil transportation partners gain the desired confidence, recognition, and respect of students, school administrators, and the communities served.
