UPPER SOUTHAMPTON TOWNSHIP, PA — The Upper Southampton Township Police Department is alerting residents that Centennial school bus violations they may be receiving from an out-of-state address are not a scam.
A few months ago, the Centennial School District adopted the School Bus Safety Program, which uses cameras on school buses to capture video and images of vehicles not stopping or going around stationary school buses with active red blinking lights.
Violation notices are sent to the offender directly through the mail.
Upper Southampton Police have fielded several inquiries regarding the validity of the notices as they are being sent from Boston, MA, mailing address.
Police said the notices are valid, not a scam, and should be taken seriously as they carry a $300 fine.
A copy of a violation notice is pictured below showing all content and directions for responding.
