全国校车安全周：全美约半数 K-12 学生乘校车上学 官方吁驾驶人遇校车必停
2026 年全国校车安全周于 10 月 19 日至 23 日举行，今年主题为「安全乘车，天天英雄」（Safe Rides, Everyday Heroes）。活动由全国学生交通协会（NAPT）牵头，国家公路交通安全管理局（NHTSA）等机构参与，呼吁驾驶人、家长和学生共同关注学生上下学路上的安全。
数据显示，校车承载全美约 48% 的 K-12 学生上下学，每年行驶逾 40 亿英里，是美国规模最大的公共交通系统之一。安全机构指出，校车本身是道路上最安全的车辆之一，主要风险来自其他车辆在校车停车接送学生时违法超车；据儿童安全网络（Child Safety Network）统计，此类违法超车每年发生数千万次。
阿拉巴马州执法局（ALEA）局长 Hal Taylor 在该州的安全周公告中呼吁，驾驶人遇到校车亮起红灯、伸出停车臂时必须停车，学生过马路时更要格外留意。
今年全国校车安全海报比赛的获奖者是德州 Prosper 市 Moseley 中学的学生 Sai Darshana Yekolu，其获奖作品围绕本届主题创作，将用于全国宣传。

National School Bus Safety Week: Nearly Half of K-12 Students Ride the Bus as Officials Urge Drivers to Stop
National School Bus Safety Week 2026 runs from October 19 to 23 under the theme "Safe Rides, Everyday Heroes." Led by the National Association for Pupil Transportation (NAPT) with participation from agencies including the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the week calls on drivers, parents and students to focus on safety on the ride to and from school.
School buses carry about 48 percent of K-12 students in the United States and travel more than 4 billion miles a year, making them one of the country's largest public transportation systems. Safety groups note that the school bus itself is among the safest vehicles on the road; the main danger comes from other motorists who illegally pass stopped buses. The Child Safety Network estimates that such illegal passings occur tens of millions of times each year.
Hal Taylor, secretary of the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA), urged drivers in his state's safety week announcement to stop when a school bus flashes its red lights and extends its stop arm, and to watch carefully for students crossing the road.
This year's National School Bus Safety Week poster contest winner is Sai Darshana Yekolu of Moseley Middle School in Prosper, Texas, whose artwork built on this year's theme will be used in national promotion.
