East Baton Rouge Parish school buses will have new cameras installed before school starts this year. The $3.5 million project with Pro-Vision Solutions includes five interior cameras and one exterior camera per bus. Transportation Director Rob Howle said the upgrade will improve student safety and accountability. Features include GPS tracking, live video access, motion sensors, and dual-layer backups. Cameras were first installed on 250 buses in 2016, and officials have already seen improved behavior on buses with surveillance.
