Petition seeks state aid for school bus safety cameras in Massachusetts
What happened
A petition was filed calling for Massachusetts to provide state aid to fund external safety cameras on school buses. The petition was initiated by Lamb after an incident in North Adams, Massachusetts, where a car illegally passed a stopped school bus. The petition has gathered over 200 signatures. A 2026 National School Bus Illegal Passing Survey reported 56,024 illegal passes in a single day across 39 states and Washington, D.C.
