BusPatrol’s stop-arm enforcement program is completely violator-funded, meaning there is no cost to school districts or taxpayers. The program covers all equipment, installation, maintenance, and program management, with expenses covered by fines collected from violations.
BusPatrol’s programs have been proven to significantly reduce illegal school bus passings. Data shows that over 90% of first-time offenders do not repeat the violation, leading to safer roads for students and communities.
Yes, implementing a school bus stop-arm camera program is legal in Florida. As of 2023, Florida law permits school districts to install and operate school bus infraction detection systems to catch drivers who illegally pass stopped school buses.
Cars illegally pass stopped school buses in Florida far more often than you might think. In just the first four days of school, Hillsborough County caught over 2,300 drivers illegally passing stopped school buses. In Miami-Dade County, more than 11,500 citations were issued in the first two weeks. Both districts use BusPatrol stop-arm camera programs to catch and deter this dangerous behavior.
When a vehicle illegally passes a stopped school bus with its stop-arm extended, AI-powered cameras capture multiple angles of the violation. The footage is reviewed by trained specialists and then sent to law enforcement for final verification. If approved, a citation is issued and mailed to the vehicle owner with instructions on how to view the evidence and pay or contest the fine.
Each violation is reviewed by BusPatrol’s trained analysts to ensure accuracy and compliance with local laws. Once verified, the evidence package — including video footage, license plate details, and timestamped data — is submitted to law enforcement for final approval before a citation is issued.
All footage and violation data are securely stored and managed in compliance with local and state regulations. Law enforcement agencies overseeing the stop-arm enforcement program have access to the footage for review and citation approval.
