By Leesfield & Partners

Officials with a school bus safety company, the Miami-Dade County School District and the sheriff’s office are parsing through BusPatrol plans to possibly reinstate the program, according to reporting from The Miami Herald.

The initial aim back at the start of the 2024-25 school year — when the district’s buses were first equipped with the company’s cameras — was to capture the information of drivers who illegally passed buses with their stop arms extended. This was an effort to combat what officials at the time were calling a “huge safety concern” for children boarding and disembarking from school buses. Drivers who violated state law and passed buses with their stop arms extended were cited at least $225.

Within the first two weeks of the school year, thousands of citations were issued.
