The Clark County School District in Las Vegas is moving forward with plans to install stop arm cameras on school buses across the valley. The district issued a request for proposals in August and received six submissions, with Safety Vision submitting a bid. A board decision to advance the process is expected in February. CCSD operates about 62,000 bus stops each day and found roughly six drivers illegally passed a stopped bus arm per day during a pilot study, raising concerns about student safety and prompting regulatory considerations.
Why it matters
Stop arm cameras are seen as an added deterrent and enforcement tool to address these violations and improve safety for students. The cameras can also assist with investigations and incident reviews, including helping to solve hit-and-run cases and document incidents involving students and drivers.
The details
Under Nevada's Assembly Bill 527, school districts may deploy stop-arm cameras, and law enforcement must review evidence before issuing a citation. CCSD aims to maximize the program's funding potential and dedicate the resources generated by bus-stop cameras to enhancing student safety measures.
- CCSD issued a request for proposals for the program in August 2025.

What they’re saying
“Some states require a driver to actually witness [a violation]. You can put an additional panic button on a vehicle, and if a driver sees a violation occur, they will press that button, and it'll mark the footage. Again, somebody is going to be reviewing it before a citation is actually sent out.”

“You're helping, obviously, your students on the bus. You're trying to provide as much safety for them as well, but you're also helping the community and having additional cameras and eyes on the road to work with law enforcement.”
— Haylee Read, Strategic Account Manager, Safety Vision (x1075lasvegas.com)
“Having live access inside the vehicle and having eyes in the vehicle really does help a lot of districts. Also, if there was an incident like a driver hitting a student, these cameras can assist with that too.”

What’s next
A board decision to advance the process is expected in February 2026.
The takeaway
Stop arm cameras on school buses are seen as an effective deterrent and enforcement tool to improve safety for students, with the potential to assist with investigations, incident reviews, and even solving hit-and-run cases involving students and drivers.
