School Bus Camera Revenue Should Go to the Schools

The recent story presented by Channel 10 brought attention to cameras on school busses. Being a former driver myself, I think it is well needed. However, to have 75% of the fines collected given back to the company is unbelievable. With all the shortfall of school budgets, just what were out legislators thinking writing the law that way? 

"SmartBus Live, the company that installs and monitors cameras on school buses in six Rhode Island communities, said cameras will actually stop drivers from illegally passing a school bus.According to state law, 75 percent of the fine from every ticket issued using a school bus camera goes directly to the company providing the service."
