Hamilton Heights School Corporation is seeing a positive impact on school bus safety with its investment in illuminated school bus signs and stop arms from First Light Safety.
“We are among the school districts throughout the state and around the country and beyond that are doing all we can to improve student safety on their bus rides to and from school,” said Hamilton Heights School Corporation Transportation Director Jaymie Wickstrom, who has seen a reduction in stop arm violations since purchasing the new illuminated safety products in February. “These lighted products help make our school buses more visible to oncoming motorists day and night and in every weather condition. It has definitely made a positive impact on our overall safety efforts.”

Earlier in the year, Wickstrom, along with Heights bus drivers Rodney Cummings and Linda Bragg, spent several hours filming with the First Light Safety film crew. The filming team traveled from the company’s headquarters in Winnipeg, Manitoba in Canada to conduct the promotional shoot. Parts of the film were incorporated into a specialty video that can be viewed on the company’s website at FirstLightSafety.com.
