So
in
2019,
Broome
County
Legislature
passed
the
local
allow,
the
creation
of
the
demonstration
program
for
the
Stop
arm
camera
school
buses
in
Broome
County
in
October
of
2020
Broome
County
contracted
with
Vera
Mobility
to
implement
the
program.
The
program
include
outfitting
school
buses
with
stop-arm
camera
patch
drivers
who
illegally
pass
school
buses.
The
cameras
are
mounted
on
the
school
bus
under
the
stop
arm
that
extend
whenever
a
bus
is
stopped.
The
camera
will
automatically
record
any
vehicle
that
illegally
pass
moving.
B
School
Bus
Broome
County
has
partnered
with
all
school
districts
with
within
the
county,
with
the
exception
of
vessel
Barrel
Mobility
has
equipped
over
300
buses
with
state-of-the-art
safety
technology,
including
the
stop
arm,
camera,
DVRs
storage
devices,
internal
camera,
GPS
and
LTE
connectivity.
All
ongoing
maintenance
is
provided
by
varimobility.
There
is
no
cost
to
any
of
the
school
districts.
B
The
cameras
went,
live
on
May
24th
of
2021,
at
which
point
a
30-day
warning
period
began
during
this
time.
School
Community
to
the
public
are
educated
on
the
program.
We've
provided
training
where
required
and
violation
warnings
were
issued
to
all
offenders.
During
that
30-day
period,
the
work
the
warning
period
was
required
under
the
chartering
code
that
was
passed
by
the
Broome
County
Legislature
starting
June
24
2021
enforcement
under
the
program
officially
commenced,
at
which
point
any
offender,
any
offenders
were
issued,
a
notice
of
liability
that
carried
with
it
a
250
dollar.
B
B
Violations
are
all
processed
through
Vera
Mobility.
They
review
the
stop
our
camera
violations
and
then
forward
them
to
Broome
County
security
division,
who
serves
as
our
Primary
Law
Enforcement
Agency
for
the
program.
The
notice
of
liability
provide
pictures
of
the
offense
to
the
offenders
and
a
link
to
where
they
can
watch
their
own
video
and
they
get
paid
the
fine
directly
through
their
Mobility
application,
or
they
can
request
a
court
hearing.
In
2021.
We
saw
1205
violations
from
June
24th
to
September
31st
in
2022.
B
B
Our
objective
isn't
simply
to
capture
and
ticket
drivers
who
legally
pass
the
school
bus.
Our
goal
is
to
reduce
the
number
of
violations
that
occur
and
keep
our
children
safe.
One
of
the
ways
we
hope
to
accomplish
this
by
better
understanding
where
violations
occur
through
our
partnership
with
Broome
County
security
and
the
Broome
County
Planning
Department
we're
able
to
identify
hot
spots
and
that's
why
we're
here
today
with
that
I'd
like
to
introduce
you
and
turn
it
over
to
Kirby
Sinclair,
our
public
safety
programs
coordinator.
C
Good
morning,
members
of
the
board-
thank
you
for
having
us
here
today
as
director
doing
sit
at
I'm
Kirby
Sinclair,
the
public
safety
program
coordinator
within
the
Broome
County
officer
office
of
merchant
services.
Now,
even
though
I
saw
this
role
fairly
recently
has
become
painfully
apparent
that
the
safety
of
a
children
has
been
threatened
every
day
on
the
way
to
went
from
school,
while
the
law
doesn't
necessarily
require
that
we
understand
why
this
violations
are
occurring.
C
I
personally,
do
it's
my
job
to
understand
why
they're
occurring
and
it's
micro,
Department's
solutions
to
try
and
prevent
those
violations
and
to
try
and
get
these
numbers
down.
What
I've
noticed
so
far
is
that
there
are
various
reasons
why
drivers
pass
school
buses
with
their
cell
phones
extended
and
the
red
light
splashing.
The
first
two
reasons
are
fairly
straightforward:
distracted
drivers
and
a
lack
of
Education
about
school
buses
and
the
laws
surrounding
them.
Our
solution
to
those
has
been
focused
on
increasing
awareness
and
enforcing
and
essentially
showing
consequences.
C
We're
also
explain
various
other
advertising
options,
including
Billboards
loan
signs,
banners
on
Broome,
County,
Transit
buses
and,
of
course,
we're
always
open
to
any
suggestions
that
this
board
Maya
might
have.
The
other
reason
why
some
of
these
violation
is
occurring
could
be
classified
as
external
factors,
which
is
really
what
I
want
to
focus
on
today.
Now
before
we
get
into
that
I
I
passed
on
some
papers,
I
had
some
papers
passed
around.
It
shows
various
clusters
within
the
city
and
all
of
these
were
poor
attention.
C
But
if
you
look
at,
if
you
look
at
the
paper
in
front
of
you,
there's
only
one
spot-
that's
yellow
and
red,
and
that
location
is
right
across
from
the
high
school.
That's
where
all
the
kids
are-
and
that's
that's
very
concerning
tools.
Obviously
it's
not
that
drivers
in
that
area
care
less
about
the
well-being
of
children
by
any
means,
but
there
are
obviously
all
the
factors
I
play
that
we
need
to
consider.
C
Make
no
mistake:
it's
not
my
intention
to
say
to
removing
a
liability,
how
many
of
us
drivers
in
that
area,
but
I'm,
trying
to
understand
why
these
violations
are
occurring,
that
they
would
that
they
are
it's
a
very
busy
street.
We
have
buses,
dropping
children
off.
We
have
parents,
dropping
the
children
off
in
their
personal
vehicles
and
a
lot
of
pedestrians
and
people
just
driving
through
as
well.
C
In
addition,
some
jobs
have
expressed
confusion
over
the
fact
that
the
buses
are
pulled
up
to
the
side
of
the
road,
which
is
something
that
has
come
up
multiple
times.
I
I
know
that
senior
business
and
director
doing
have
done
a
lot
of
work
even
before
I
came
on
board
to
try
and
address
some
of
these
issues.
C
We
had
150
152
violations
in
January
and
297
violations
in
February
now
February
I
had
two
holidays
and
I
believe
four
day
weekend
and
for
that
number
two
be
almost
300.
That's
very
concerning
to
us
and
there's
obviously,
a
lot
of
urgency
to
address
this
issue,
because
if
these
numbers
can
go
on
up,
we
might
be
saying
over
300
in
March
and
by
May
and
June
I,
don't
even
know
what
these
numbers
are.
Gonna
be
if
we're
gonna
put
something
about
it
at
this
time.
C
The
summer
I'll
probably
plan
to
address
the
issue
head
on,
but
for
now
I'm
just
appealing
to
the
board
to
work
on
a
possible
solution.
I
don't
have
all
the
answers
to
that
at
this
time,
but
I'm
hoping
that
the
Border
will
work
on
this
with
us
and
as
always,
the
Broome
County
Office
of
merchant
services
is
always
available
to
provide
any
support
that
the
board
May
request.
A
Thank
you
both
Kirby,
as
you
mentioned,
I,
think
this
is
really
good
timing,
because
our
Traffic
Division
was
looking
at
that
that
street
out
in
front
of
the
high
school
we
adopted
a
couple
of
measures
last
traffic
board
meeting
to
help
some
of
the
issues
here,
but
this
certainly
shared
some
some
new
light
on
some
of
the
concerns
over
there
and
I
write
that
your
main
recommendation
at
this
point
is
is
adding.
Did
you
say
it's
like
School,
Bus,
specific
signage,
correct.
C
Right
just
to
remind
drivers
that
there
are
school
buses
in
that
area
and
we'll
work
on
other
stuff
as
well
to
see
if
we
can
tell
make
sure
they
understand
that
they
have
to
stop
in
that
area.
When
it's
robust
arms,
when
the
stock
homes
are
extended,
because
a
lot
of
people
think
that
those
are
buses
on
the
side,
probably
wouldn't
I
swear
in
the
road
they
can
just
fly
by.
A
Does
the
office
of
emergency
services
have
signs
that
they
can
share
with
us
just
a
mock-up
of
it?
Okay,
if
you
can
share
that
with
us
after
the
meeting
I'll
make
sure
to
circulate
it
to
the
group
here
and
it's
the
Department
of
Public
Works
that
handles
installing
signage
for
us,
so
we
can
kind
of
go
from
there
did
any
of
the
board
members
or
anyone
else
here
today
have
any
questions
or
discussion
for
Patrick
or
Kirby
I
had.
D
One,
do
you
have
any
demographic
data
on
that?
Is
it
related
to
students
at
all,
because
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
student
drivers
through
there
that
we
could
do
any
education
through
the
school
district
or
through
the
parents
at
the
school
district
to
remind
them
of
this?
Do
we
know
that
the
tickets
that
have
been
issued
in
that
area
so.
C
What
we
have
with
this
program,
we
only
have
about
six
percent
of
people
that
show
up
to
court
as
a
result
of
the
noticing
viability.
So
it's
only
at
that
time
going
to
determine
the
the
demographics
if
they
just
paid
online,
which
Shania
focus
on
them
do
really
can
determine
demographics
at
that
one
and
a
lot
a
lot
of
times.
We
don't
know
exactly
what's
driving
the
vehicle,
necessarily
just
the
ticket
is
for
the
Vic
would
solve.
As
it
goes
direct
to
registered
owner,
it
could
have
been
a
child.
E
D
B
And
just
one
additional
thing:
that's
also
why
we're
addressing
this
multiple
different
ways
between
I
heart,
media,
social
media
law
inside
BMS
board,
is
to
try
to
capture
every
demographic,
so
that
nobody's
left
out
type
things.
What
we
have
seen
is
throughout
the
court
process
and
the
six
percent
people
that
show
up
it's
a
wide
array
of
people.
It's
students,
it's
Young,
Drivers,
it's
also
very
seasoned
driver.
It's
also
people
from
the
city
that
are
up
here,
attending
Binghamton,
University
or
visiting.
F
B
B
There
are
occasions
we
haven't
made
aware
of
that,
and
we
address
each
of
those
with
the
this
particular
hit
with
per
student,
to
ensure
that
they're
not
doing
that
we're
in
a
difficult
predicament
where
we
are
in
the
role.
We
can
complete
the
school
districts
over
the
Boston,
but
we
can
try
our
best
to
educate,
and
you
know
what
the
patients
are.
When
you
know,
drivers
are
waving
driver
through
problematic.
But
yes,
if
that
each
and
every
one
of
the
people,
okay,
foreign.
E
A
B
We
go
okay,
great
I'm,
Scott
Mastin,
with
Broome
County
Department
of
Public
Works
I'm,
an
engineer
three
over
there
I'm
here
with
Tim
Bailey
from
McFarland
Johnson.
They
are
our
site
designer
for
this
project,
I'm
going
to
kind
of
turn
it
over
to
Tim
good
morning.
Everyone
yeah!
So
basically,
here
we
have.
The
Broome
County
veterans
facility
proposed
that
the
old
former
State
Bowling
Alley
site
it's
going
to
be
a
resource
center
with
up
to
five
veteran
homes
on
site.
We
are
proposing
a
new
parking
lot
along
Frederick
Street
and
doing
so.
B
We
need
to
relocate
the
existing
curb
cut
on
Frederick
Street
and
we
are
also
proposing
another
curb
cut
on
demon
Street
to
allow
direct
access
through
the
parking
lot
for
the
county
of
plow
easier
to
file.
And
then
you
have
a
rear
parking
lot
behind
the
facility
for
maintenance
vehicles
and
also
parking
spaces
for
the
veterans
homes
that
will
be
an
existing
curb
prep.
That's
already
there
we're
going
to
realize
that
so
we're
not
asking
for
any
additional
cuts
on
that
side
of
Industry.
G
A
B
E
E
We
need
Department,
the
fire
company
doesn't
have
enough
room
between
ships.
We
have
the
area
across
Chapman
that
we've
developed,
there's
12
spaces
when
they
change
shifts,
we
meet
point
and
then,
if
we
remove
the
parking
on
Pine,
Street
or
the
fire
company
to
get
their
trucks
in
those
people
need
a
place.
So
Chapman
is
funny
why
they
can
re-stripe
it.
E
A
E
D
E
D
F
The
police
department's
received
a
lot
of
complaint
and
request
for
enforcement
in
that
area,
so
we're
certainly
sympathetic
to
the
loss
of
parking
on
Pine
Street.
If
that's
going
to
be
rectified
by
adding
additional
curbside
spaces
on
Chapman,
that
would
make
sense,
but
again
I
do
see
it
being
somewhat
of
a
safety
issue
and
I
guess
it
would
be
a
fire
department
protocol
about
apparatus
I
brought
up
at
the
last
meeting
entering
off
of
Pine
Street
when
we
originally
saw
the
proposed
traffic
flow
pattern.
F
My
understanding
was
that
apparatus
would
return
to
quarters
from
the
East
Via
Court
Street,
which
is
why
I
believe
the
curb
cot
is
the
entire
length
or
width
of
the
parking
accessible
area
for
the
new
structure.
The
apparatus
is,
on
the
south
end
of
that
new,
complex
and
I
believe
the
design
with
such
so
the
apparatus
would
come
off.
A
portrait
I
realize
it's
an
added
travel
distance,
but
the
positioning
of
the
road
in
a
one-way,
Street
I
think
that's
the
way
it's
designed.
F
So
they
may
very
well
need
additional
room
there
for
regular
vehicle
traffic
access,
but
I
think
for
apparatus
to
come
in
off
Pine
Street.
In
my
professional
opinion,
they
shouldn't
be
entering
off
of
Pine
Street
and
that
the
design
reflected
that
it
should
be
aquacort
and
if
that
affects
parking
again,
we
are
receiving
regular
complaints
from
the
residents
there,
and
many
of
those
complaints
are
are
valid
insofar
as
the
lack
of
available
on
street
parking
or
what's
been
removed
under
the
reasoning.
I
guess
you
will
of
apparatus
needing
room.
F
F
I
would
think
so
I
mean
I
think
if
it's
supported
by
what
the
design
and
the
layout
of
the
street
is,
if
they're,
under
the
assumption
that
well,
we
just
want
our
rigs
to
return
here.
Maybe
that's
a
conversation.
I,
don't
direct
fire
department
operations,
but
maybe
that's
a
conversation
for
you
with
the
fire
chief
and.
A
A
E
B
A
B
D
E
D
D
That's
what
people
are
complaining
about,
though
I
think
because
I
agree
when
we
first
looked
at
the
plans
for
the
fire
department
to
go
there
and
we
met
out
on
site.
The
idea
was
not
for
any
apparatus
to
come
in
off
of
Pine
Street
because
we
talked
about
then
that
if
you
lost
that
parking,
there's
nowhere
for
those
residents
to
go
so
I
think
to
expect
them
to
have
to
go
over
to
Chapman
might
not
be
reasonable.
F
F
My
other
concern
on
the
back
half
of
that
would
be
if
there
are
new
parking
created
on
Chapman.
Does
the
board
have
the
authority
to
declare
it
or
like
residential
or
resident
parking?
You
know
what
other
areas
of
the
city.
At
times
it
was
like
over
on
the
South
Side
Commons
area
that
was
designated.
D
A
That's
a
very
good
point:
yeah
there's
there
is
additional
development
and
housing
in
the
works
for
that
that
section
of
Henry,
okay,
so
maybe
as
a
Next
Step,
then
we'll
keep
this
on
the
agenda.
For
the
next
meeting,
we'll
invite
the
fire
chief
to
talk
about
traffic
flow
in
that
area
and
and
also
follow
up
with
the
city
attorney
on
how
the
residential
parking
Works
in
that
area
and
the
permitting.
A
F
Also
on
that
note,
you
may
want
to
consult
with
the
fire
department
before
that
is
actually
posted.
So
as
a
matter
of
historical
practice,
fire
headquarters
receives
apparatus
from
other
departments,
and
certainly
the
player
Chief
could
elaborate
on
that
where
they
come
for
training
purposes
throughout,
like
the
day
I,
don't
know
where
they
plan
to
Stage
or
Park
those
rigs,
whether
they
can
use
the
concrete
pad
area
in
front
of
the
apparatus,
bay
doors
or
behind
on
either
side.
There
is
ample
room
for
apparatus,
so
maybe
that's
their
plan.
F
But
if
you
get
multiple
firehouses
coming
through
the
day
where
they're
going
to
safely
temporarily
park
those
rigs,
okay
for
training
purposes
or
whatever
business
they
may
have
at
the
new
player
headquarters,
they'll
might
be
worthy
of
consideration,
one
section
be
specified
or
what
their
needs
would
be.
I
guess
should
be
considered
so.
A
A
F
A
B
D
Okay,
I
took
a
quick
look.
I
forgot
to
bring
the
account
with
me.
We
have
an
account
there
from
20,
22,
I,
think
2022,
maybe,
and
the
left
turn
the
eastbound
left
turn.
So
turning
from
Prospect
onto
Glenwood
is
quite
high
in
the
morning,
there's
only
one
lane
of
traffic
there
right
now,
so
at
the
left
or
and
right
so
I
can
see
why,
if
you
wanted
to
make
a
left
turn,
you
probably
are
waiting
several
Cycles.
D
The
problem
was
I,
don't
think,
there's
enough
room
to
put
in
a
left
turning
there
in
order
to
put
a
exclusive
left
turn
arrow,
I,
hadn't
I
didn't
pull
up
all
the
crack
data.
Yet
so
I
can
do
that
for
the
next
meeting
you
see
if
there's
anything
going
on
there
I
think
the
only
way
they
might
be
able
to
handle
that
is
to
change
the
signal.

The
resident
is
requesting
traffic
calming
measures
at
the
site
with
multiple
vehicular
accidents,
endangered
or
pedestrians,
I
believe
traffic
board
is
looked
at.
Grand
Boulevard
previously
I'm,
not
sure
that
we've
looked
at
this
specific
intersection
Cindy.
Were
you
able
to
find
anything
on
on
Grand,
Boulevard
and
Helen.

D
Through
you
know,
from
some
of
the
bars
and
so
I'm
thinking,
if
they
didn't
go
on
Main
Street,
maybe
they'd
go
on
Grand
Boulevard.
They
wouldn't
get
caught.
That
type
of
thing.
I
don't
know,
that's
all
that's
speculation,
but
there
were
a
number
of
them
there.
When
we
looked
at
the
accident
or
the
crash
history
before.
A
D
It
came
up
as
a
suggestion
because
of
all
the
deliveries
that
we're
experiencing
here,
covid
and
people
parking
on
the
street,
and
you
know
Amazon
deliveries
and
just
regular
deliveries,
business
and
things
so
at
our.
We
have
on
our
work
program
in
the
city
to
design
our
planning
board
a
study
to
look
at
Washington
Street
between
Port
and
ali.
D
This
is
like
a
test
kind
of
we'll
try
to
pick
a
streak
that
there's
a
lot
of
activity
on
that
you've
got
delivered
to
commercial
establishment.
There
was
on
free
parking
and
temporary.
You
know
like
quick
parking
drop-offs
and
now
that
the
parking
garage
is
right
on
the
corner.
Could
you
redesignate
some
of
those
parking
spaces?
I
know
it
came
up
with
the
deal
good
job
before
that
residents
were
parking
or
in
the
yoga
shop.
D
That
was
there,
but
people
were
coming
into
yoga
in
the
morning,
but
it's
new
a
couple
of
times.
So
this
is
just
an
FYI
that
we're
going
to
look
at
that
directive.
Roadway
possible
recommendations
that
can
accommodate
everything
better
now
that
we
have
the
parking
garage
there
that
wasn't
there
before
when
it
just
came
up.
Okay,
so
if
anything
happens,
we
must
call
in
was
working
with
on
that
Mark
staff
and
we
have
an
intern.
It's
going
to
go
out
into
a
surveying
of
that
area.
