Summary

The city is scrapping its plan to install stop-arm cameras on school buses after testing showed limited effectiveness—despite issuing nearly 3,400 tickets in just two months. Officials say the technology didn’t catch enough violations compared to other camera systems and want to redirect resources toward proven pedestrian safety measures. With no contracts finalized before the last administration left, critics questioned the project’s transparency, but now the focus is squarely on broader, more impactful safety strategies to protect kids and pedestrians.
