\u2018Going that extra mile\u2019: Parents say DCPS adding stop-arm cameras to buses gives them peace of mind<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of people that run past them and that shouldn\u2019t,\u201d said Brittany Toms, a Duval County parent with children who ride the bus. \u201cIt\u2019s not safe for them or for people running past.\u201d<\/p>\n
Duval County resident Brad Butler said he frequently sees drivers fail to stop for school buses.<\/p>\n
\u201cI see it all the time,\u201d Butler said. \u201cI think that\u2019s a really good idea.\u201d<\/p>\n
School police also identified other April hotspots for stop-arm violations:<\/p>\n
1800 block of Edgewood Avenue<\/p>\n
600 block of West Beaver Street<\/p>\n
1100 block of 103rd Street<\/p>\n
1700 block of Edgewood Avenue<\/p>\n
2600 block of Lane Avenue South<\/p>\n
Toms said she hopes the fines will change behavior.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople don\u2019t want to get a ticket,\u201d she said. \u201cFor the most part, I think they won\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
The district said the program will not cost taxpayers and is funded through a revenue-sharing model supported by citation fees. BusPatrol America was approved to operate the program for three years.<\/p>\n
