An investigation by the Miami Herald revealed widespread issues with the Miami-Dade school bus safety program, including the issuance of bogus violation tickets. Robert Strongarone received a ticket despite driving legally, exemplifying the problem. The superintendent acknowledged the criticism and called for improvements in ticket reviews. However, board members have largely remained silent regarding their role in oversight and accountability. Over 120,000 violation tickets have been issued, revealing the program's significant impact while raising concerns about transparency in its administration with BusPatrol.
The contract with BusPatrol was signed in a hasty manner by the school district, without a bidding process, raising concerns about transparency.
Despite multiple bogus tickets being issued to drivers, there's an alarming lack of strong responses or accountability from Miami-Dade school board members.
As of December 19, a staggering 120,000 violation notices have been issued in Miami-Dade County, highlighting the scale of the program’s enforcement issues.
Superintendent Jose Dotres acknowledged the criticism of the school bus safety program and indicated a need for improvements in the citation review process.
