In Indiana in 2018, a driver struck and killed three children, all siblings, crossing the road early in the morning at a bus stop. Another child was struck, sustaining serious injuries. The driver claimed she thought the bus was a garbage truck. We installed FLSP's school bus signs and stop arms on our buses because they can be seen from over a half-mile away, leaving no doubt you are seeing a school bus, which gives drivers time to prepare and slow down.

With a fleet of nearly 1K school buses, we have several early morning routes. With the crazy weather in the South, First Light Safety Products solutions help ensure a safer ride for our kids. We will be adding these solutions to our new bus orders and equipping all our early morning routes.

We know these signs are noticed. I actually get calls from motorists and parents complimenting the new technology. Any call that is not a complaint is a good call!!

Since installing the signs and stop arms, we have not had one stop arm violation. The increased visibility is a dramatic change to the industry standard reflective decal.  

We know your products are working on our school buses. We are getting more cars to stop for our school buses than ever before on one of our major roads in Muskegon County. Community members have commented on seeing the Oakridge School Bus coming from over a half-mile to a mile away with the Illuminated School Bus Sign. I would like to thank you for the product. It will save a child's life!   

We're a rural district with four heavily travelled state highways, two heavily travelled federal highways, and regular fog. I'm always looking at new ideas to help grab motorists' attention. We run three buses with Illuminated School Bus Signs and seven with the Fully Illuminated Stop Arms and have more products on order. The bus drivers have heard a lot of positive comments from parents and have had drivers from other districts inquire about the products while out on trips. I've even had two random callers complimenting what they have seen on the road. First Light's signs really stand out!

We pride ourselves on having the safest buses possible, and that is always one of our main goals. We are excited to implement the Illuminated School Bus Signs and Fully Illuminated Stop Arms from First Light Safety to further achieve that goal.

We decided to implement the new Fully Illuminated Stop Arms from First Light Safety Products to alert oncoming motorists from the furthest distance possible. After installing the Stop Arms, we will add them and the Illuminated School Bus Signs to all new bus orders. 

What we’ve learned since installing these signs is that they are definitely brighter in low light conditions and even local law enforcement has commented on how much more visible the school bus is.  

We have a lot of industrial traffic; the Illuminated School Bus Sign from First Light Safety helps to ensure motorists do not mistake our School Buses for any other vehicle. We are impressed with the quality and service provided and can't wait to install their new Fully Illuminated Stop Arm.

Student safety is the most important part of School Bus operation. First Light Safety has developed products that keep our students safe throughout the entire transportation process. From maintaining high visibility with an Illuminated School Bus Sign to illuminating loading and unloading stops with a Fully Illuminated Stop Arm. First Light Safety is creating products to protect our greatest asset, our future.

Install was easy. It helps the motorists see our school bus at a greater distance, especially on our highway route.

The illumination of the First Light Safety school bus sign has been a big help in getting drivers to recognize an approaching school bus from further distances. This has been a big help in safeguarding children entering/exiting the buses in the early morning/late evening hours, especially on our inner-city and rural routes.

I decided to specify the First Light Illuminated School Bus Signs on my new bus purchases this year. Upon first seeing the Illuminated School Bus Sign, it was apparent this is a significant improvement for the safety of our students and our community. Furthermore, these signs should be a requirement on every new bus in North America.

The installation was easier than expected, and our team was blown away when we saw the sign lit up for the first time. We are looking forward to equipping all of the buses in our fleet and providing additional safety to our students!

It will be a big help on the highway in the morning where that route goes. There is no lighting on that stretch of highway, so the more light, the better.

Our community and Police service love First Light's Illuminated School Bus Signs. Our Police Chief was one of the first to call me and say, "Wow, I love the new buses with those light-up signs!"

I love the product and so do our drivers. It makes our buses look better and they are safer, too.

First morning students waiting on the bus got on and asked the driver if it was a new bus because they noticed the signage lit up. We are very excited to have this safety device on two of our buses and will be installing more in the near future. All future buses will be ordered with First Light factory installed.

We decided to try out the school bus sign to see if it was worth getting more.  I installed it, and it was not too hard to install.  I have looked at the sign and noticed instantly when it is coming. You can see the sign a long way and it is really good when it is foggy.  We plan on equipping our buses with this product.

Anyone concerned about safety needs these signs. They draw your attention to where it needs to be.

The signs are great and really stand out at night. The difference is amazing!

I was very impressed with your signs when I first saw them. They stand out in day and dim light situations. The signs are made with heavy duty quality materials and the fact that you incorporated LED lighting makes it stand out over any other competitor's products that I have seen.  I definitely would recommend your product to others.

The safety of students is top priority, and visibility is a key factor at school bus stops. The new lighting system will make the school buses more visible to motorists and help keep their precious cargo safe.

Everyone stops for my bus. Vehicles on both sides of the road stop, and it didn’t use to be that way.

In the 19 years I’ve been in school transportation, I can honestly say it’s the best innovation I’ve seen, which truly updates the school bus and makes it visible from a distance and enhances its visibility. I have received nothing but positive remarks from administrators and staff alike.

Stop arm cameras are great; we have a few buses equipped with them, and we have a system in place that tickets the drivers for violating the law. But I want the cars to STOP for the school bus when it is loading or unloading. Most drivers want to do the right thing, especially around our children. First Light's illuminated signs help the public recognize our school buses, and we have seen a reduction in the number of stop-arm violations since we have installed them on our fleet. I'm very happy we installed First Light's illuminated bus signs on our buses. I'd rather stop them than catch them.

My top priority is the safety of our students. Thank you to First Light for lighting the way for our students with the SAFEST and BRIGHTEST Stop Arm on the market. We need all schools to work together to get these signs on all buses across North America! I can't wait to install them!

Since the first day it was put on, it has brought a significant amount of attention to the bus. People are drawn to it by how visible it is. It doesn’t matter if it is daylight or at night, it sticks out! The sign does more than just light up, it keeps the bulkheads dry on so many makes and models of buses. I am very proud to say that this will be a standard on all our new buses going forward.
