Manassas City Public Schools (MCPS) and the Manassas City Police Department (MCPD) are partnering together with Force Multiplier Solution, Inc. to address the growing problem of illegal and unsafe passing of school buses. All MCPS school buses have been outfitted with a stop-arm camera system for the start of the 2016-2017 school year.
BusGuard mounts cameras and sensors on the side of the school bus. When the stop arm is deployed, the sensors automatically detect a vehicle illegally passing the stop-arm in both directions and captures video of the violation including the vehicle’s license plate. The video and corresponding images will then be reviewed by the MCPD for approval prior to a citation being issued. In Virginia, the penalty for a stop-arm camera violation will warrant the vehicle’s owner a civil penalty fine of $250.00. No points will be added to the violator’s license.
