BCPS launches bus camera system ahead of upcoming school year; officials promise no wrongful tickets

Broward County Public Schools (BCPS) has installed security cameras on 1,300 school buses to monitor drivers who illegally pass buses during stops. The system, managed by BusPatrol, includes license plate capture and traffic views to aid law enforcement in reviewing violations before issuing fines. Officials emphasized that the program includes a 30-day warning period starting August 10, with civil penalties beginning September 9, and that citations require law enforcement approval.
