THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, NOVEmbER 18, 2022 Page 19 LETTER | FROM PAGE 11 gov and that for 11 years, the Massachusetts State Legislature has failed to pass a bill that will authorize the use of a camera system to capture live video imaging of vehicles illegally passing the school bus and would therefore enforce the law by issuing a citation in the mail. I’ve been researching this “bus stop-arm camera” program and learned that technology companies can provide the cameras and implement the program with no up-front cost to the state. Some are also finding that this type of video monitoring not only enforces the law but also reduces the number of repeat offenses by 98%. (STREETSBLOG 9/13/22). “At least 24 states have school bus stop-arm camera laws,” says the National Conference of State Legislatures. Technology exists, our lawmakers are aware of the problem, they can amend existing laws to work around any obstacle and yet they CITY OF EVERETT - LEGAL NOTICE - continue to kick this can down the road. I’ve heard privacy is a concern. Since when does the privacy of someone endangering children’s lives outweigh protecting them? I’ve been told that it takes a long time to pass a bill. While the clock is ticking, kids are getting hit by cars and drivers are getting worse. How many kids need to get hurt or killed before anything is done? Why isn’t there a massive “Stop for the bus” or “Don’t hit a kid” awareness camEVERETT CITY COUNCIL PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE FY 2023 ADOPTION OF THE LOWEST MINIMUM RESIDENTIAL FACTOR (MRF) The Everett City Council shall conduct a public hearing at a special meeting of the council on Monday, November 28, 2022 at 6:00 PM in the City Council Chambers at Everett City Hall, Third Floor, 484 Broadway, Everett, MA 02149.

Hanlon, President Michael Mangan, Legislative Aide November 18, 2022 paign from the state? Is “minding the plows” more important than our children? Bus companies welcome the technology. Mark Healey, owner of Healey Bus Company says, “Keeping the kids safe is our number one priority. Every day we talk to our drivers about safety, we provide safety education classes regularly and we are doing everything that we are supposed to be doing to keep the children safe, but we need the public to do their part too.” This mom is doing her part. I am making some noise and talking to anyone who will listen. I also started an online petition urging the MA Legislature to pass the School Bus StopArm Camera bill into law. This is a no-brainer folks – put the cameras on the outside of the buses, issue citations and reduce the number of repeat violations – all with no upfront costs to the state and taxpayers – to save kids’ lives.
