DETROIT, Mich. (Michigan News Source) — Cutting around a stopped school bus in Detroit just got a lot more expensive.

Starting August 25, Detroit Public Schools Community District began equipping all 295 buses with stop-arm cameras, a move made possible by a new state law. The AI-powered cameras capture violations when drivers ignore the red lights and stop sign, and $295 citations will arrive by mail within 30 days.

Deputy Superintendent Machion Jackson called the program “a partnership that not only enhances safety but also generates revenue that will be reinvested into critical transportation safety initiatives across our District,” according to a Detroit Public Schools Community District press release.

The district keeps 40% of each fine under its contract with vendor BusPatrol. The company installed the system at no cost, fitting every bus with eight cameras—six inside, two outside, with an option for live streaming.

Currently, state law says drivers must stop at least 20 feet away whenever a school bus is stopped with its red lights flashing and stop arm extended. Now, Detroit is banking on video proof to enforce it.
