Pearl River District First to Sign on to County Bus Camera Program

by

The Pearl River School District has become the first in the county to sign on to Rockland’s School Bus Safety program. Cameras will be installed on the buses that service the district. Rockland County Executive Ed Day says the county is working with a company called BusPatrol to launch a violator-funded business model, giving the school districts the camera technology at no cost…

Day says a 30-day warning and public notice period will begin once 25% of buses within a district are equipped with stop-arm cameras, after which enforcement and fines will begin. Drivers caught illegally passing activated stop-arms on school buses will face a $250 fine for a first violation, $275 for the second and $300 for the third.

Two others sustained minor injuries. The pedestrian refused medical attention at the scene. The investigation continues.
