NASDPTS wanted to make you aware of reports out of Fairfax, VA yesterday of suspicious buses attempting to pick up students. (Washington Post Article | April 13, 2023 at 4:24 p.m. EDT.)

When communicating with parents it is helpful to remind them of general school transportation safety tips, which include but are not limited to the following:

• School buses are always marked.
• School bus stops are never publicized.
• If you see something, you should say something.

In addition, we want to remind you that NASDPTS member Truckers Against Trafficking has several resources on trafficking. While police are still investigating these incidents, the media is also reporting that human trafficking is popular in this area. You can find those resources here: https://truckersagainsttrafficking.org/get-our-materials/#botl-materials.
