DeKalb County Schools in Georgia plans to install stop-arm cameras on over 1,000 of its school buses to deter drivers from illegally passing stopped buses. These cameras will capture license plates and multi-angle video footage, sending data directly to law enforcement for fines starting at $1,000 per violation. The district aims to protect students by addressing the frequent issue of unsafe driving near school buses; Georgia officials estimate that this happens over 9,000 times daily. Installation is scheduled to be completed no later than January.

Story summary
The DeKalb County School District in Georgia is considering installing license-plate capturing cameras on over 1,000 school buses, each equipped with multi-angle video and GPS tagging. These stop-arm cameras would automatically capture vehicles passing stopped school buses illegally, warranting a fine of up to $1,000 per violation. Director of Student Transportation Bernando Brown aims to protect the district’s roughly 45,000 students by ensuring safe transportation. Data collected from these cameras will be sent directly to law enforcement. The existing internal bus cameras only capture inside activity; the new stop-arm cameras would monitor traffic outside.
