The cameras on the bus are all around and help catch drivers who violate the Pennsylvania school bus stopping law.
SPRING GROVE, Pa. — Michelle Stonesifer drives bus 24 for Spring Grove Area School District and has been on the job for four years.“I get so angry at times because there are people who just, they zoom right past," Stonesifer said."There's no regard for anything. It's all about them.""As soon as they break this plane that camera catches the license plate," Stonesifer said pointing to one of the units on the exterior of her bus."Then they get the violation.
He says in its first full year, the district recorded more than 300 violations to the tune of $300 each. "When a violation occurs, all they have to do is simply hit a button," Chetaitis said."They're not looking around trying to figure out hey, where exactly am I at what intersection? What stop? Where's the vehicle, what does the driver look like, it takes the guesswork out of it."Credit: WPMT/Marvin Dunmeyer
Matt Chetaitis is the district’s resource officer. He says in its first full year, the district recorded more than 300 violations at $300 each. "There was so much information that they had to collect, write a document, send it to us, and then have us approve it," Chetaitis said."And a lot of the times it was just a he said she said issue going to the local magistrate.""You had to report them, you had to go to court for them, and oftentimes, it just wasn't worth it," Stonesifer said."But once they put those cameras on the bus, it's a no-brainer.
