Anticipate. Prevent. Protect.
Safeguarding students to and from school demands a holistic and proactive approach. With a yearly estimated 41.8 million school bus stop-arm violations in the US endangering students, leveraging technological progress is vital. The Safe Fleet Illegal Passing Suite is a three-step solution designed to enhance the safety of students where they are at greatest risk: outside the bus.
STEP ONE:
The combination of the Hi-Visibility Stop Arm and Driver Alert Device enhances bus visibility and alerts drivers behind and in front ofthe bus about upcoming stops.
STEP TWO:
The Predictive Stop Arm™(PSA) takes a preemptive approach, utilizing patented radar and predictive analytics to determine whether an approaching vehicle is likely to stop in time. If a threat is detected, an audible alert is issued telling students to “STOP, GET BACK” giving them a valuable 3-4 seconds to avoid danger and fostering a culture of awareness.
STEP THREE:
The Safe Fleet Stop Arm Camera captures HD footage of illegal passings, facilitating law enforcement interventions and driver behavior education.

While school districts might choose single measures like stop Arms or driver alerts, the Illegal Passing Suite with the proven PSA, helps form a safety umbrella over the school bus Danger Zone, reducing the risk of injury and fatality. The suite provides the three crucial components essential for effectively minimizing Danger Zone risks and protecting students’ lives.These life-preserving measures, when universally adopted, accelerate us toward the objective of eliminating stop-arm violation-related fatalities.
