The testing and warning phase of a new Hillsborough County Schools bus safety program has ended, and starting Thursday, violations will be sent to drivers making bad decisions around school buses. At the beginning of the school year, Hillsborough County Schools launched a new camera enforcement system on 1,000 school buses that can capture drivers not stopping when a school bus has its stop arms active. The district said more than 10,000 warnings have been issued in four weeks. Citations will cost drivers $225 per incident. The district said funds generated from citations will be used to pay for the camera system.
