“Our goal isn’t to write tickets. Our goal was is to create that deterrent effect […] that there is a camera on that [the bus] and you need to stop”

“Drivers who endanger our children should be held accountable,” Mrs. Ehrhart said. “I applaud the actions of the Cobb County Commission in signing the contract to renew the use of school bus cameras, which are vital to our children’s safety. However, they will only be effective if our judges uphold the law.”

“I really wish police could send tickets to these people. I work in Oakland and travel frequently all about town. I see people not stopping all the time. It infuriates me because I could just see some poor kid getting hit in my mind.”

“They’re running stop signs everywhere,” said Lynch, who has driven a school bus for six years in the northern end of the county. “It’s a big thing with us. (It’s happening on) just about every street in the county.”

“BusPatrol enables us. It’s that tool its that link that helps us at every single bus stop and it has reduced the amount of violations.”
