The Broward School Board has approved a new measure to add cameras to school buses starting in the fall. The new program will capture video of drivers who pass stopped school buses with extended stop arms. The violation comes with a $225 ticket sent to the driver’s address. Officials said it is a sa
Key takeaway The school board approved the contract with Bus Patrol, the same company that rolled out a similar program in Miami -Dade in 2024.
Why this matters in The Miami
The new program in Broward to ticket drivers who pass stopped school buses has implications for neighboring Miami-Dade County, where a similar program was implemented and later paused due to issues with erroneous violations. Miami-Dade's experience serves as a cautionary tale, and it's reassuring that Broward officials claim their cameras won't have the same problems. The fact that Broward's police department will review videos to determine whether to issue citations may help mitigate potential issues. As the program rolls out in August, it will be worth watching how the revenue generated from the $225 tickets is allocated, particularly the portion earmarked for transportation, safety initiatives, and bus driver recruitment and retention. With Miami-Dade County having already navigated the challenges of such a program, Broward can learn from its neighbor's experience and potentially create a model for other South Florida counties to follow.
