SCHOOL BUS STOP ARM CAMERAS

Working to ensure that every school bus in Indiana and across the U.S.A. is fitted with "School Bus Stop Arm Cameras".
School bus stop arm cameras are not the cure all, but it's a great first step of many that will help to assure the safety of our children each day.

IMPROVED SAFETY FOR SCHOOL BUSES

Working to help reduce dangers for Children when being picked up and dropped off at their school bus stop locations. The stakes are too high, the dangers to our children are to real, prohibiting buses from requiring children crossing the road MUST be a priority.

INCREASED PENALTIES FOR VIOLATORS

Working to promote new and stronger legislation to hold those accountable that violate the law by not stopping when a school bus stop arm is deployed. Enforcement is the key, and with more than 3,000 Near Misses each day in Indiana alone, it's time to take ACTION NOW!

THE TIME FOR CHANGE IS NOW!


A recent survey showed that more than 3,000 Near Miss Incidents involving school buses occur across the state of Indiana in a “SINGLE DAY”.

A near Miss is when a car actually blows past the SCHOOL BUS STOP ARM that has been extended for child safety. We think it’s even more horrifying when you take into consideration that the same survey estimates that in calendar year 2018 more than 550,000 NEAR MISS INCIDENTS occurred in Indiana. It’s not only frightening, It's UNACCEPTABLE!

Expand the survey to nationwide and you will find more than 80,000 Near Miss Incidents involving school buses as a result of vehicles blowing past school bus stop arms in a SINGLE DAY, and estimates that NATIONALLY more than 15 Million per year. It has reached EPIDEMIC proportions and we MUST do something about this NOW!

SUGGESTIONS FOR NEW LEGISLATION

Some of the things that should be included in any new legislation to authorize the use of automated side stop signal arm enforcement systems (school bus stop arm cameras) would be :

  • Require the driver of a vehicle meeting or overtaking a bus stopped on a highway or trafficway to stop at least 50 feet before reaching the school bus when the red signal lights on the school bus are flashing and the side stop signal arms are activated
  • Prohibit the driver from proceeding past a stopped bus until the flashing red signal lights are no longer activated and the school bus stop arm has been removed.
  • Authorize a school bus driver to prepare a report if a driver is observed violating these rules
  • Require the driver of a vehicle meeting or overtaking any school bus to proceed past the school bus with caution and be prepared to stop when the amber signal lights are flashing

Here's What The Public Is Saying - In Their Own Words...

  • We definitely need to do something to protect the innocent children. They are our future. We also need to have stiffer penalties for those who violate those PROTECTIONS.
    Christina - Peru, IN
  • Praying something is done to prevent this from happening again..SO SAD.
    Jessica - Galveston, IN
  • All buses need cameras to catch drivers disobey the law. Drivers should face large fines for offending.
    Mary - SouthBend, IN
  • Max strong we need to protect our babies. We need this passed.
    Stephanie - Winamac, IN
  • I am totally in favor of this idea. something must be done about people dis-REGARDING school bus stop signs. I totally support this idea.
    Jim - Kokomo, IN
  • I do think all bus should have cameras so they can help stop people from just hitting children and I believe they should follow rules if not give them a ticket
    Alysia - Knox, IN
  • There have been far too many tragedies involving school BUSes lately. I think putting cameras on the stop arms will really help to stop this from happening so often.
    Aubriana - Winamac, IN
  • Any and every possible measure needs to be taken to keep our children safe. Along with top arm Cameras no child should have to walk across the street to load or unload the bus.
