In Ontario, drivers illegally pass school buses more than 30,000 times per day.
A Message from Adam's Brother
My name is Pierre Ranger, and I am the chair of the Let's Remember Adam STOP FOR THE SCHOOL BUS campaign. I am also one of Adam's brothers. Adam Ranger was just 5 years old when he was struck and killed while getting off the school bus and crossing the road at our family home by someone who did not stop for the flashing lights or stop-arm on the school bus.
We are calling on you for support and help.
We don't want any family to ever have to go through what we went and continue to go through.
On behalf of my family and the Let's Remember Adam campaign, I am asking you to help spread Adam's safety message to friends, family, politicians and beyond. Our governments and municipality leaders need to hear his message and must act now. Technology is out there to make school buses safer and to change driver behaviour. Stop Arm Camera Systems are just one of the many advances in school bus safety that can now be used.
Every time a school bus stops, that's a child’s life that is getting on or off it. We all need to do whatever we can to make sure every child can get to and from school safely.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely, 
SCHOOL BUS STOP-ARM CAMERAS & OTHER SAFETY TECHNOLOGY TO PROTECT CHILDREN IN ONTARIO

Feb 11, 2025 marks 25 years since you were taken from us. 25 long years of not having you here with us, not seeing your smile, not hearing your voice, not watching you grow up. 25 years and still hurts like that horrible Friday on Feb 11, 2000. If you pass a stopped school bus, you are putting a child's life in danger! Let's Remember Adam STOP FOR THE SCHOOL BUS

As a mother of three children, I am fighting this battle daily as cars continue to drive past my children's bus with red flashing lights and stop sign out. I can't imagine your pain. In December 2024 another child was killed just a few minutes away from my home as he was getting off his school bus. This is a huge problem in Ontario and people like you sharing your story helps other parents to know we are not alone in this battle. Keep sharing Adam's story. It might help save another child.
So sad
It still breaks my heart for them. Such a needless tragedy
Got to Love the community support!!! Even Bonhomme from Le Carnaval Les Compagnons des francs loisirs is showing support for Let's Remember Adam and School Bus Safety!! Thank you to Labonte Concrete for all your helping make the travel to and from school safer for all children!

He was so cute and adorable ❤️
That's fantastic and I wish every every region of Ontario would allow cameras on school buses.
UNACCEPTABLE!!!! This why our government needs to make stop arm cameras a mandatory safety feature on all school buses and why the laws need to be changed with stricter penalties for people who do NOT stop for the school bus and put children's lives in danager!!! This needs to STOP now!!! #letsrememberadam #childsafety #schoolbussafety #stopforthebus #juststop #istopyoustopAs of Friday, January 31, 2025, the exact halfway mark of the school year, local school bus drivers reported 737 vehicles passing their stopped school buses with red lights flashing and stop arm deployed since the first day of school. That's an average of 7.7 vehicles reported per school day.
Historic Average Daily Reported Violations:
2023-2024 - 6.5 per school day
2022-2023 - 5.2 per school day*
2021-2022 - 3.7 per school day
*December 5, 2022 - With Ontario regulations requiring municipalities to implement and run stop arm camera programs, the City of Thunder Bay Administration presented their report on School Bus Stop Arm Cameras to the city’s Committee of the Whole recommending that this item be removed from the Outstanding List for Operations, due to it not being feasible for the City of Thunder Bay at the time, which was quickly passed without any further discussion, sending a clear message for those who illegally pass stopped school buses.
While monitoring traffic in both directions and the movements of students, school bus drivers are seldom able to get all the required detailed information to make a report to police when a vehicle illegally passes the bus, but stop arm cameras can. Let your municipal leaders know if you feel this is an issue which needs to be readdressed.

Not stopping for the School BUS....NEEDS to be dealt with like Stunt Driving is..... license suspension, vehicle impound etc. ( Adam's mom again )
Along with cameras, what about pushing for a crossing guard to board these buses with children and safely cross them at each stop? I was offered an adult supervisor with my special needs children to ensure their safety on the school bus so why not have a crossing guard? Anyone know who to contact regarding this idea or if there are any rules that go against it?

I stopped at a school bus stop sign the other day and the bus driver waved at me to thank me. I just thought of Adam and how simple it would have been to stop at a bus stop sign and save a child's life. ❤️
Thank you all so very much ❤️ 🤗
Wishing a happy heavenly birthday Adam, grateful to the family for their continued commitment to awareness🎈
On behalf of the Let’s Remember Adam Stop for the School Bus campaign and the Ranger Family, we wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas and a safe, healthy, and happy New Year. Enjoy the time you spend with family and friends during this holiday season!

Let’s Remember Adam and the Ranger family are deeply saddened to hear another child has lost their life because someone did not stop for the school bus!
This time near London Ontario.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and community living this nightmare!
Changes need to be made! People need to learn the importance of stopping for the School Bus!!
This tragedy as well as Adam’s could have been avoided!!
We need to do better, we need to be better!
PLEASE WATCH FOR THE SCHOOL BUSES THESE LAST FEW DAYS OF SCHOOL. STOP FOR THEM WHEN THEY STOP WITH THEIR RED FLASHING LIGHTS AND STOP ARM OUT. THESE ARE CHILDREN LIVES!!

This is horrible this is why the buses have stop signs. No body cares anymore and breaks my heart to think our kids aren’t safe. They use to be I’ve never seen any car go through a bus stop and if I did license plate number and everything is going to the cops. STOP FOR THE SCHOOL BUS! My life is on the school bus!!!
I think it’s about time that drivers who blow through the sign and kill someone should get 25 years to life and permanent loss of licence as I see it as murder plain and simple. Also ones who blow through and don’t hit someone should lose their license for life/10 years in prison
Drivers blow through the flashing lights on the stopped school bus at my house all the time One driver told the police because it's a 3 lane he didn't think he had to stop Another driver said people don't have to stop when it's yellow flashing lights In my opinion the changing of the lights to amber flashing lights is the worst thing they could have done But in all honesty the flashing lights mean nothing to some people People who fail to stop for a school bus with flashing lights activated should lose their license for 5yrs and a 25,000 dollar fine There is NO EXCUSE for not stopping for a school bus There is NO EXCUSE for endangering innocent children's lives
