Several districts, including Pittsburgh Public Schools, are considering technology to crack down on vehicles passing stopped school buses.
The company, BusPatrol partners with districts and law enforcement to catch violators using artificial intelligence and cameras.
They send evidence to police who then determine if a fine, totaling $300, will be sent by mail.
BusPatrol's Steve Randazzo says a month-long pilot program that ran on 19 city school buses captured 553 violations, that's more than most locations.
"[In] Pittsburgh, during the pilot that we ran, seems to be that violations seems to be higher than the national average."
Pittsburgh Public school board will vote on a 5-year contract next week. If approved, the technology will be in place on buses by the fall at no cost to taxpayers.
