South Central PA Highway Safety SCPAHS serves as PennDOT’s Community Traffic Safety Program for Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, and Perry Counties.

We work to prevent traffic-related injuries and fatalities through driver, passenger, and pedestrian education. We can help your organization or business reduce the number of crashes that may involve your employees. Missed work days result in lower profitability. We can help you make your children safe by providing a Child Passenger Safety Program. We can help student to understand the risks of not wearing a seat belt and/or driving under the influence of alcohol. Just think of the educational opportunities your organization could provide to its employees at no cost! These programs are excellent for classroom settings or large group assemblies. However, all our programs can be formatted for specific audiences and are, once again, free of charge! Our staff is extremely flexible and will make every possible effort to accommodate your requests. Please contact us today to make arrangements for a presentation

🚌 School Bus Essential Safety Rules 🚌

First day of school is just around the corner! 🎒🏫 Let’s make sure everyone knows the rules that help keep our children safe. ❤️

🚗 FOR MOTORISTS:
🛑 Stop at least 10 feet away from a school bus when the red lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended. This applies when you’re behind the bus, approaching it from the opposite direction, and at intersections.

👧🧒 FOR STUDENTS:
↔️ Stay at least 3 giant steps (6 feet) back from the curb while waiting for the bus.
🚸 When crossing, always walk at least 10 feet in front of the bus—never behind it and never underneath it!

👨‍👩‍👧 FOR PARENTS:
⏰ Have children arrive at the bus stop 5 minutes early.
👋 Make sure they understand the bus driver’s signal and know when it’s safe to cross the road.

💛 Slow down. Stay alert. Protect our kids.

🚨 Impaired driving isn’t just about alcohol.

🍺 Alcohol, 🌿 ma*****na, and 💊 other drugs can slow coordination, judgment, and reaction time—making driving dangerous.

⚠️ Stimulants like co***ne and methamphetamine can increase aggression and reckless driving.

🚫 Mixing drugs, including alcohol, can amplify impairment.

💊 Some prescription and over-the-counter medications can cause drowsiness, dizziness, and other side effects. Always read the warning labels before driving.

👉 If it says not to operate heavy machinery, that includes driving a vehicle.

Drive sober. Drive safe. Get there alive. 🚗💨
