WHEREAS, it is important to protect our children throughout the year from aggressive
drivers and preventable traffic injuries; and each day during the school year an estimated
50,000 motorists illegally pass stopped school buses in New York State; this is a major
concern of "Operation Safe Stop" - an education and enforcement program sponsored by
y
New York State and its local government partners; and

I

WHEREAS, "Operation Safe Stop" is a cooperative project supported by the Governor's
Traffic Safety Committee, the State Departments of Motor Vehicles, Education and
Transportation, the Division of State Police, and the New York State Association of Pupil
Transportation, the New York State School Bus Contractors Association, and state,
county, city and local law enforcement agencies; this excellent program helps inform
motorists, school bus operators, law enforcement agencies, school administrators and the
general public about dangers that children encounter as they approach and depart from
school buses throughout the school year and the traditional periods of school vacation;
and
WHEREAS, "Operation Safe Stop" expanded to statewide service in 1997 from its
beginning as a regional safety effort more than ten years ago; this innovative safety effort
has helped reduce the number of students deaths and injuries, and is a recognized example
of effective safety education and public outreach; and

I

WHEREAS, throughout the nation, October 20-26 has been designated as a weeklong
observance of school bus safety education, which emphasizes the need for motorists to
exercise caution throughout the year when approaching school buses and other passenger
buses, all motorists should prepare to stop on school grounds and all roadways, including
while driving in either side of a divided highway, whenever a school bus displays flashing
yellow lights, and completely stopping when the bus lights flash red; it is fitting for New
Yorkers to support this observance and make the effort to improve safety with regard to
school buses and our precious children who ride them;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, George E. Pataki, Governor of the State of;New York, do hereby
proclaim official recognition to October 10, 2002, as
OPERATION SAFE STOP DAY in the Empire State.
