School zones are designed to protect students, but many parents continue to witness unsafe driving where children walk every day.

Our recent survey found:
• 56% have witnessed speeding in school zones.
• 49% have seen distracted driving.
• 43% have witnessed a near-miss involving a child.

Slowing down, staying alert and eliminating distractions can help create a safer trip to and from school for every student.

California is entering a new chapter in roadway safety, and Verra Mobility brings experience where it matters most.

Speeding and red-light running are dangerous driving behaviors that put everyone on the road at risk. Automated safety programs give cities another tool to encourage safer driving and help protect their communities.

Verra Mobility has been at the forefront of implementing California’s new automated safety programs by supporting the state’s first AB 645 speed safety program in San Francisco and the first red-light safety program implemented under SB 720 in Mountain House.

That means we understand more than the technology. We understand the legislative requirements, operational details, public education, and community considerations that go into building a successful program in California.

For cities considering ways to improve road safety, we’re ready to put that experience to work.

Independent research provides compelling evidence that school zone speed safety programs can change driver behavior.

A study from the University of South Florida’s Center for Urban Transportation Research, funded by the Florida Department of Transportation, evaluated Verra Mobility-operated programs across 18 school zone speed cameras in St. Cloud and Osceola County.

The findings:
• Speeding violations declined by 97%
• Warning notices alone reduced violations by 93%
• Many individual school zones saw reductions exceeding 95%

“Our students deserve a safe journey to and from school. We are asking motorists to take personal responsibility as they commute during the mornings and afternoons while our school buses are on the roads, picking up and dropping off students.”

Hall County School District Transportation Director Billy Wells' message is a powerful reminder that student safety is a shared responsibility.

We're proud to support Hall County Schools as they relaunch their school bus safety camera program, which encourages safer driving around stopped school buses and helps protect students during one of the most vulnerable parts of their day.

Back-to-school means more than new backpacks and busy mornings. It also means more children walking, biking, and riding the bus - and more traffic around schools.

Unfortunately, many parents continue to witness speeding, distracted driving, and dangerous behavior in school zones and around school buses. The good news is that simple actions from drivers, families, and communities can help keep students safe.

We've pulled together practical safety tips for drivers, parents, caregivers, and students to help everyone prepare for a safer school year.

Protecting students on their journey to and from school takes a shared commitment to safer driving.

The Osceola County School Board has voted to approve a new school bus safety program designed to address drivers illegally passing stopped school buses. We’re proud to support this important step toward encouraging safer driving and protecting students.

By raising awareness and helping change dangerous driver behavior, programs like this help make the journey to and from school safer for students, families, and school communities.

National Stop on Red Week is a reminder of what's possible when organizations, advocates, and communities work together to achieve a shared goal.

We were honored to partner with the National Coalition for Safer Roads to help raise awareness around intersection safety and responsible driving. Throughout the week, it was encouraging to see so many voices helping reinforce the importance of stopping at red lights and protecting everyone who uses our roadways.

Every intersection presents a choice. Stop today. Protect tomorrow.

We're proud to partner with Lake County Schools to help protect students through a new Stop Guard™ school bus stop-arm safety program.

Beginning this school year, the program will combine public education with automated stop-arm safety technology to help address one of the most dangerous driving behaviors for school commutes: illegally passing a stopped school bus. Drivers will first receive educational warnings before citations are issued, reinforcing that the program's goal is to increase awareness, encourage responsible driving, and protect students.

Meaningful school bus safety programs are built on strong partnerships. We appreciate the collaboration of Lake County Schools, the Lake County Sheriff's Office, and community leaders who share a commitment to creating safer roads for students, families, and school bus drivers.

Together, we're helping build safer streets by changing driver behavior, strengthening public awareness, and supporting safer transportation for everyone.

Lake County Public Schools is adding several cameras to the outside of its school buses in an effort to catch drivers who ignore those red stop sign warnings, which could lead to hefty fines

May is National Bicycle Safety Month - a time to recognize that safer roads start with all of us.

In 2023, 1,155 bicyclists were killed in crashes involving motor vehicles. Each number represents a life, and a reminder of why safe, attentive driving matters.

At Verra Mobility, we believe safer roads are within reach. When drivers and cyclists respect each other and share the road, we can help create communities where everyone gets where they’re going safely.

Small decisions, like paying extra attention to the road, slowing down, or giving cyclists extra space can make all the difference.
