- New program in Broward will ticket drivers who pass stopped school buses
Broward County will implement a program starting in August using cameras on school buses to ticket drivers who pass stopped buses with extended stop arms. Violators will receive a $225 ticket, with $85 going to the county and $140 to the company Bus Patrol, which will manage the system. The initiative aims to improve student safety and generate funds for transportation and safety initiatives.
- School bus stop arm cameras coming to Broward after unanimous vote
Broward County School Board unanimously approved AI-powered cameras on school buses to cite drivers illegally passing stopped busses. Fines of $225 will be mailed to violators, with most revenue funding Bus Patrol, the provider, and 30% allocated to Broward schools. The program addresses safety concerns after Miami-Dade County temporarily halted a similar system due to improper fines.
