“Cross in View, It’s the Right Thing to Do”
Nashville, TN – The Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) joins the promotion of the 2010 National School Bus Safety week and its theme, “Cross in View, It’s the Right Thing to Do”. By supporting the five-day annual event, which runs from October 18th through October 22nd, the THP hopes to highlight the importance of school bus safety awareness and education.
