Newtown officials have approved a new camera enforcement program aimed at catching drivers who illegally pass stopped school buses. The town plans to equip all 56 school buses with stop-arm cameras and artificial intelligence technology through a partnership with BusPatrol. Officials hope to have the system operating by August. Drivers caught violating the law could face a minimum 250 dollar civil penalty under Connecticut law. Town leaders say the program is designed to improve student safety while costing taxpayers nothing because the system is funded through fines paid by violators.
