The Crestwood School District is proud to announce the start of a new School Bus Safety Program in partnership with local law enforcement and in line with PA Motor Vehicle Code 3345.

As part of the program, all school busses that transport Crestwood students will be outfitted with safety technology to make the ride to and from the school safer for all. This technology includes stop-arm enforcement cameras designed to detect vehicles that illegally pass stopped school buses while the bus’s sign arm and red lights are engaged. The police department then reviews the footage to determine whether to issue a violation by mail.

For more information, please check out our School Bus Safety Program website
