Crack Down on Stop-Arm Violations with These Camera Options

“The in-yard wi-fi configuration for automatic video data uploads at the end of the school day is an ideal option for school districts who wish to avoid the extra network costs of real-time data,” said Doug Dyment, Gatekeeper’s president and CEO.

In Oregon, a transit agency is upgrading its fleet with Mobile Data Collectors (MDCs) and video installations. The transit agency will also subscribe to Gatekeeper’s AI-assisted video management offering. The transit agency is a new customer, and the contract is valued at approximately $1.4 million USD, plus monthly subscriptions.

Why is This Important to the School Bus Sector?

This adoption Gatekeeper's systems by school districts and transit agencies indicates a growing market presence outside a niche solution, showing how safety and operational standards between pupil transportation and general transit may intersect. Use across a diverse range of transportation settings offers new examples of scalability and adaptability.  

“Gatekeeper counts over 60 transit agencies and 3,500 school districts as customers all across North America, and we are very pleased with how our hosted service offerings are being received within both of these industry segments,” Dyment said.
