Mayor Justin Elicker, city transportation director Sandeep Aysola, New Haven Public Schools (NHPS) Madeline Negrón, and other top city and school officials made that announcement Thursday morning at a press conference at Ross Woodward School. The warning period ends, and $250-per-violation fines will start going out to offending drivers on Monday, March 2. Roughly 40 percent of those buses so far have been outfitted with automated monitors and cameras to detect when a car illegally drives by a stopped school bus. New Haven’s school bus camera program will be operated by the contractor Bus Patrol in partnership with the city and with the school bus company First Student. “School bus driving is a difficult job,” added First Student’s Michael McDaniel.
