BusPatrol Reminds Drivers to Stop for Buses Transporting Children to Day Camp During Summer
15 Julio 2024 - 1:26PM
BusPatrol, the leading school bus stop-arm safety solution in North
America, is launching a public awareness campaign to remind drivers
to stop for the bus during the summer season. School buses now
serve as the primary mode of transport for millions of children who
rely upon them for their commute to and from day camps.
Data provided by BusPatrol reveal that last summer alone, nearly
25,500 citations were issued nationwide by law enforcement for
illegally passing a stopped school bus. While school is out of
session, the ongoing risk to child safety remains.
"Summer break has arrived, but that doesn’t give drivers a
license to take their foot off the brake," warns Justin Meyers,
President and Chief Innovation Officer at BusPatrol. “We remind all
drivers to remain vigilant on the roads, follow the law, and keep
our children safe on their journey to day camp.”
According to the National Association of State Directors of
Pupil Transportation Services, school buses are illegally passed an
estimated 43.5 million times each school year nationwide. NASDPTS
reported that communities nationwide are increasingly adopting
school bus photo enforcement programs to address the growing
problem of stop-arm violations.
BusPatrol, a leading provider of this technology, has supported
communities in reducing violations by over 40 percent in select
areas. For more information on BusPatrol's efforts to enhance
