Duval County schools add cameras to buses to catch illegal passing

–

Before the law was passed, the Student Transportation of America organization was involved in a pilot program for these cameras.The company, BusPatrol, outfitted 25 school buses with stop-arm cameras across Florida — 11 of those were in Duval County. The camera “activates” when the bus stop arm is deployed. Then, they use artificial intelligence to capture video of cars that pass by, along with their license plates.

“People start to realize, oh my God, if I pass a school bus anywhere in Duval County, I’m gonna to be held accountable for that, that school bus when I mess around on the roads and endanger a child’s life, it gives out tickets, right?” said Steve Randazzo the Executive Vice President of BusPatrol.
