Brake for Kids Act of 2025

The Brake for Kids Act of 2025 requires the U.S. Secretary of Transportation to launch a national public safety campaign within one year of enactment. The campaign will educate drivers about the dangers of illegally passing stopped school buses using TV, radio, social media, and other broad-reaching channels. It directly affects drivers who may pass school buses and aims to increase awareness through widespread messaging, funded by existing transportation safety budgets. The bill does not change traffic laws but focuses on public education to improve safety around school buses.
