Drive safety campaign targets school bus violations
Area police agencies launch a Back to School campaign to crack down on violators in school zones and near stopped buses running through September. Last year the effort led to 103 drivers ticketed for passing stopped buses and 4554 for speeding in school zones. The data cites 5 to 14 year olds as only 15 percent of the population yet involved in 30 percent of pedestrian injuries. In Frederick County last February a first grader, Donald Mitten Jr., was killed when a car failed to stop for a bus in Liberty Elementary School’s area. Dan Garrett discusses transit concerns.
