    NORTH DAKOTA SCHOOL BUS DRIVER’S GUIDE MARCH 2015 EDITION DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION Kirsten Baesler, STATE SUPERINTENDENT Bismarck, North Dakota 58505-0440 2 A MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION Over 40,000 students are transported each day to North Dakota schools in school buses. The safety of these students and the efficiency of a district's transportation program depends on the dedicated men and women who accept the important responsibility of driving our school buses. This publication is the thirteenth edition of the handbook for North Dakota school bus drivers. We hope that this handbook answers many questions and gives school bus drivers the necessary guidelines to perform effectively and efficiently. Driving a school bus involves much more than merely driving a vehicle on the highways. The school bus driver must also be responsible for the safety and welfare of children, must be teacher by example, must promote good public relations, and must understand how to properly use and care for the school bus, a complex and expensive piece of equipment. The purpose of this guide is to provide each school bus driver with the basic information needed to develop the skills, attitudes, and knowledge that result in safe and efficient driving. It is my sincere hope that each of North Dakota's school bus drivers will study and properly apply the information presented in this guide to assure a safer transportation program for our students. Driving a school bus is one of the most important jobs we have in our school systems. You carry our state’s most precious resource.

  • ATU Local 1056 Reminds Community on Restored Queens Bus Service
    For Immediate Release: Wednesday, January 2, 2013 Contact: Corey Bearak (ATU 1056 Policy & Political Director) (718) 343-6779/ (516) 343-6207 ATU Local 1056 Reminds Community on Restored Queens Bus Service Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 1056 Queens reminds the public that bus service restorations announced by the MTA last summer get fully implemented next week. ATU 1056 President and Business Agent I. Daneek Miller said the union local wants to make sure Queens residents know they can take advantage of restored service Sunday on the Q24, Q27 and Q36 (extension of route to restore the former Q79) bus routes and Monday on the Q30 and Q42. Miller noted restored service started on the Q76 this past October. ATU 1056 members – bus operators and mechanics – work for MTA New York City Transit's Queens bus division and serve the riding public. “ATU Local 1056 wants the public to know about the return of service once the subject of the misguided and hurtful cuts that affected many communities outside Manhattan,” stated ATU President Miller who noted ATU Local 1056 had organized news conferences, rallies and other events with electeds and community leaders, and testified at hearings to get the MTA to reverse harmful cuts. “We made clear that the dollars existed to restore service in Queens and the facts today make that clear. ATU 1056 will work together with the community, our electeds and our sister transit unions to make sure the MTA delivers what the riding public in Queens needs.” President Miller, who also chairs the MTA Labor Coalition, also thanked the community and their electeds for their advocacy and support throughout this difficult period preceding the service restoration.
