Frequently Asked Questions

BusPatrol’s stop-arm enforcement program is completely violator-funded, meaning there is no up-front 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. Illinois law allows school districts to use stop-arm cameras to enforce laws against illegally passing stopped school buses. These programs help law enforcement identify violators and hold them accountable, making roads safer for students across the state.

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.

BusPatrol is unequivocally a powerful tool when protecting the most valuable asset any community has — our children. Distracted driving is everywhere and continues to be a concern. It is impossible for the police to be at every bus stop all the time. BusPatrol provides the solution.

The level of customer service and the responsiveness of the BusPatrol team is excellent, and that goes all the way up to the top of the ladder with senior leadership.

BusPatrol was prompt to get the cameras installed on our buses. They are always concerned with keeping the cameras maintained and up to date with the latest camera advancements. BusPatrol’s customer support is professional and timely as well. We consider them an asset to our department.
