During the 2024-25 school year alone, more than 8,500 citations were issued to motorists for passing stopped school buses in participating Monroe County districts. By January 2026, Monroe County reported that more than 16,000 citations had been issued since the program's launch. Motorists should also be prepared to stop when a school bus activates its flashing yellow lights, which signal that the bus is preparing to stop. County officials have argued that the camera program is intended primarily as a deterrent rather than a revenue-generating measure. The program is funded through fines collected from violators and does not impose a cost on participating school districts or taxpayers, according to Monroe County.
