More than 3,000 citations were issued in the first month of Duval County Public Schools\u2019 school bus stop-arm violation program.<\/p>\n
After a month-long public awareness campaign in April, during which drivers received warnings rather than citations, the program officially launched on May 1, and drivers illegally passing a stopped school bus with its stop-arm extended and red lights flashing began receiving citations and a $225 fine.<\/p>\n
In total, Duval County School Police reviewed just over 4,000 citations, approving 3,197.<\/p>\n
Duval County Chief of School Police Jackson Short previously told Resident News that a human review of AI-generated photos and videos recorded by the cameras is designed to ensure that only citations meeting an internal approval threshold are issued. This internal review resulted in the disapproval of 868 citations in May.<\/p>\n
Citation statistics have identified the top 20 locations in Jacksonville for May. With a combined total of 89 citations, the 3700 and 3800 blocks of Blanding Boulevard were the top two locations for which citations were mailed (41 and 48 citations, respectively).<\/p>\n
Revenue numbers for these 3,000-plus citations are currently unavailable, according to DCPS. Any funds generated from these citations are split 50-50 between the district and BusPatrol America, the company with which DCPS has partnered for this program. Funds received by DCPS must be allocated to student transportation safety.<\/p>\n
According to DCPS, drivers who receive a notice of violation have 60 days from the mailing date of the citation to either pay the civil penalty, file an exemption affidavit, or request a hearing through the Division of Administrative Hearings.<\/p>\n
