State activates special transportation hotline


Public can report school bus drivers violating state law

School bus passengers and drivers wanting to report school bus drivers for violating the state’s seat belt and cell phone use laws can now call a special “Transportation Hotline” established by the NC Department of Public Instruction.

Stickers stating the laws along with the hotline phone number are being placed inside each school bus and activity bus in the Cabarrus, Winston-Salem/Forsyth and Guilford County School Systems as well as the Mooresville Graded School District as part of a pilot project.
