Bus Rider of the Week

Blue Earth Area Transportation is excited to introduce the Bus Rider of the Week program!

This positive recognition program encourages safe, respectful, and kind behavior while riding the school bus.

Each week, bus drivers select one student who consistently follows bus safety rules, listens to the driver’s directions, and shows kindness and respect to others. Students chosen as Bus Rider of the Week receive a certificate of recognition and a free Mini Blizzard coupon from Dairy Queen as a reward for their great choices.

Through this program, we aim to promote bus safety, responsibility, and a positive riding experience for all students. We appreciate the support of our families and community as we work together to keep our buses safe and welcoming.

FAQ

Stop arm camera

Blue Earth Area School Buses have installed Stop Arm Cameras on their school buses, thanks to the grant we received from the State of MN / Office of Transportation.

Stop or Pay the Price!

  • State law requires all vehicles to stop for school buses when flashing lights are activated and stop arm is extended.

  • Drivers who violate the law face a $500.00 fine.

  • Drives can face criminal charges for passing a school bus on the right, passing when a child is outside of the bus, or injuring or killing a child.
