Establishes pilot program in which certain selected school districts equip school buses with global positioning systems and DOE develops school bus tracking application.
S 762 establishes a four-year pilot program requiring selected New Jersey school districts (those owning their own bus fleets) to equip all school buses with real-time GPS tracking systems. The Department of Education will develop a mobile app allowing authorized parents or guardians to track their child's bus location and speed via their smartphone. The program mandates regional selection (at least one district per northern, central, and southern region) and requires GPS systems to transmit data to the app during all student transport. This bill directly affects participating school districts, students, and parents through new tracking capabilities.
