Bill > HR2348

This bill directs the Secretary of Transportation to develop and implement a comprehensive national public safety messaging campaign focused on raising awareness about the dangers of illegally passing stopped school buses. The campaign, to be funded through existing resources from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (a major infrastructure law passed in 2021), must include multiple media channels such as television advertising during high-viewership national broadcasts, radio advertisements, social media messaging, and edge service advertising. The bill specifically requires that the campaign have broad reach, ensuring it is not limited to digital downloads or regional distribution, with the ultimate goal of educating the public about the serious safety risks associated with illegally passing school buses when they are stopped and loading or unloading students. By mandating a multi-channel approach and national distribution, the bill aims to reduce dangerous driving behaviors that could potentially harm children.
