New Haven’s School Bus Safety Program Begins with Camera Enforcement
New Haven Public Schools has initiated a new school bus safety program aimed at protecting nearly 17,000 students who ride buses each day. The program utilizes camera technology to identify drivers who illegally pass stopped school buses, enhancing student safety.
The enforcement phase began on January 29, 2026, with a warning period. During this time, drivers caught violating the law received warnings. Starting in March, fines of $250 will be imposed on violators. This initiative is part of a broader effort to ensure the safety of students during their commutes.
City officials emphasized the importance of this program in maintaining a safe environment for students and urged all drivers to adhere to traffic laws, especially when school buses are present.
