Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Director of the Bureau of Driver Licensing Kara Templeton joined the Pennsylvania State Police and school bus safety advocates to honor nine students for communicating important school bus safety messages through their submissions to this year's School Bus Safety Poster Contest. The students, in kindergarten through eighth grade, were recognized for their winning entries in the 2022 School Bus Safety Poster Contest. The theme for this year's contest - "1 Bus + 1 Driver = A Big Impact on Education" - reminds everyone of the important dynamic between students and their school bus drivers, who navigate commonwealth roadways daily to deliver students to school and home without incident. "By using their talent and creativity, these young artists help us share important safety messages through their creations," said PennDOT Secretary Yassmin Gramian. "This year's creations reinforce the importance of school bus drivers in delivering students to and from school safely and the role they play in students' well-being every day."Speakers Include:Craig Yetter, Community Relations Coordinator for PennDOT's Driver and Vehicle ServicesKara Templeton, Director of the Bureau of Driver Licensing for PennDOTSergeant Michael Pavelko, Division Supervisor for the Commercial Vehicle Safety Division of the Bureau of Patrol for the Pennsylvania State Police
