Baltimore County school buses are now sporting external cameras designed to catch drivers who illegally pass when students are boarding or exiting.
District leaders teamed up with the local police department to install the monitors from Alabama-based company AngelTrax ahead of the first day of classes Monday. At a press conference in front of Timonium Elementary School, Chief of Police Robert McCullough said driving infractions are an “ongoing problem” for student safety.
“During a one day study about a year ago, we had over 387 cars pass our school buses in Baltimore County – just in one day,” McCullough said. “It’s a much-needed program so that we can protect our students.”
