This bill directs two federal transportation safety agencies to study the benefits of requiring school buses in the United States to have stop-arm safety cameras. Within one year, the agencies must post the study findings online, along with recommended best practices on data privacy, sharing data with law enforcement, and fee and revenue sharing. Within 18 months, the Secretary of Transportation must set up a grant program for State educational agencies. Grant money could be used to buy school buses with stop-arm cameras, add cameras to existing buses, and install, maintain, and repair the cameras.
