Results from the trial program will be used to campaign for legislation to authorize the use of automated stop-arm cameras throughout California. Sacramento City Unified School District believes this pilot program will highlight the need for better enforcement of school bus safety laws in the state. “Our partnership with BusPatrol demonstrates our commitment to finding innovative ways to increase student safety at neighborhood bus stops throughout our community.” “The safety and care we hold for our Sacramento City Unified students goes beyond the walls of our classrooms,” said Christina Pritchett, President, Sacramento City Unified School District Board of Education.
