Under Section 1515 of the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code, a driver must tell PennDOT about a name or address change within 15 days, even when moving out of state. p. 1-6

Loading Procedures – Approach and Check
When the stop is 150 to 300 feet away, turn on the amber flashing lights and brake gradually in gear; the faster you are going, the farther away you should turn them on. p. 2-14

Students who cross the road to board must stay visible to the driver at all times and cross in front of the crossing arm, at least 10 feet in front of the bus where they can see the driver's face. p. 2-14
