Bus Patrol Media Release

Good morning. 

Click here to view a letter signed by more than 75 elected officials (including more than 20 from WNY) calling on the Governor and legislators to pass a bill this legislative session that would allow school districts use camera technology to go after reckless drivers who pass school buses while their lights are flashing. After many false starts, the State Senate, with Tim Kennedy as the lead sponsor, is about to pass a bill that passed the Assembly 149-0 about 5 weeks ago.

Since this has been a big issue locally, I thought you would have an interest in seeing this info.

Best,

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Seventy-five mayors and city and county officials from around New York have written to state lawmakers to urge them to authorize cameras on school buses to catch drivers who pass illegally.
