We are excited to partner with the University of Rochester Medicine’s Trauma Program and the Monroe County Department of Public Safety to launch “Spot the Stop,” a data-driven, injury-prevention initiative to improve student safety and increase driver education surrounding school buses.

In 2023, Monroe County introduced the School Bus Safety Program that equipped buses with stop-arm cameras that capture motorists who illegally pass buses while their stop-arm is deployed, and issue citations accordingly. Spencerport officially joined the program in 2025.
Since its launch, the data has been staggering: more than 19,000 tickets have been issued—that means more than 19,000 moments where our students have been at risk when getting on or off a school bus. This has averaged to almost 30 incidents a school day in Monroe County.
Please talk with your student or new driver about bus and motorist safety. Refer to the resources provided here from the county and URMC.
