But you know, one thing the city is focusing in on for buses that are running red lights with School Children on them, they are focusing on the red light cameras right here that you can see at this intersection. The Baltimore City council took steps last night in a meeting to hold bus drivers accountable for running red lights at intersections. Baltimore City Council WomanMary Pat Clark introduced a bill to get accountability in the system requiring any citations begin to school buses to be submitted to the mayor, Council Members and the department of education four times a year. The story on abc2 news of School Buses Running red lights prompted the Baltimore City council to step in. Right now, the School System operates some of its own buses but employs contractors. Currently, those contractors are not required to report their drivers violations to the School System. A new law would change that and it passed through a City Council Committee last night. Some of the contractors appeared before the City Council Committee. They say its hard to keep track of drivers in a bus when a citation was issued. But they agreed the problem need to be addressed.
