CTS researchers documented the magnitude of the statewide problem of stop-arm violations in Texas, and conducted a pilot study to determine the applications and effectiveness of video technology on school buses to aid school districts and law enforcement in identifying and prosecuting stop-arm violators. In addition, researchers produced and disseminated educational materials to increase motorists’ knowledge of the school bus stop law, as well as increase bus driver awareness of stop-arm violations and how to avoid them.
