Combine Home Combine & Auto. Home Save big. & Auto.
Message from Mayor Frank C. Ortis Dear Readers: School will soon be back in session and that means school buses will be back out on the roads. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the greatest risk to any child is not riding a bus, but rather approaching or leaving one. It’s important for everyone to know the traffic safety rules near bus stops, as well as near buses on the road.
Save big.

A few notes to remember: Children should never walk behind a school bus when approaching at a bus stop. And, parents are encouraged to visit the bus stop and show the child where to wait safely for the bus which is at least six feet (or three giant steps) away from the curb. The bus stop is not a place to run or play. If driving behind a bus, allow a greater following distance than if driving behind a car. It will allow more time to stop once the red lights flash and the STOP arm is extended. The area 10 feet around a school bus is reportedly the most dangerous for children so it’s important for drivers to stop far enough back to allow them space to safely enter and exit the bus. Back to school means sharing the road with school buses, more parents taking children to and from school and even children on bikes. Please be aware of entering school zones, slow down near bus stops, be aware of children in the area, and follow bus safety rules to ensure a safe school year. Although the summer is starting to wind down, I hope everyone still gets a chance to take some time to relax a bit and enjoy all the amenities the City of Pembroke Pines has to offer during our summer months, such as “Splash in the Pines” on Saturday, August 13, 2022 from 10 AM-1 PM at the West Pines Soccer Park & Nature Preserves, located at 350 SW 196 Ave. Children can enjoy water theme games, activities and so much more. Please visit the Recreation & Cultural Arts web page at www.ppines.com, check our calendars, and visit our Facebook page at www.facebook/cityofpembrokepines for exciting events and programs that are planned for the coming months.
