• Abstract:
  This Traffic Tech briefly describes a literature review and a detailed examination of stop arm camera program implementation in three school districts. The districts offered their experiences with legislation, reactions and experiences of their bus drivers, efforts to educate and inform the public, cooperation with law enforcement, successes and challenges in issuing citations and penalties, and lessons learned. This study also analyzed camera vendor supplied citation data previously gathered from an additional 34 school districts.
