Shelton, CT Traffic Tickets Attorney News Archive

A troubling trend has emerged in Shelton, Connecticut, where over 270 drivers have been caught illegally passing stopped school buses since the start of the academic year. Local transportation officials report that this alarming behavior poses significant risks to community safety.

To combat these violations, Shelton Student Transportation Services has partnered with BusPatrol to install stop-arm enforcement cameras on their buses. This initiative is now in place not only in Shelton but also in nearby Bridgeport, and it has been effective in highlighting the issue. Bus operators, including Margaret Morosko and Nicole Parsell, have noted an average of 25 to 30 offenses recorded each day. They are calling for stricter measures to ensure real estate safety around schools.

Presently, the program is in a 30-day warning phase. Soon, those caught violating traffic laws will face a $250 fine. Local officials are optimistic that the implementation of these fines will lead to a decrease in violations, ultimately protecting the safety of students and enhancing the overall safety of the community.
