On October 5, 2015, Community Education Council 31 introduced Resolution #89 requesting GPS Tracking, Onboard Cameras and Swipe Card Technology be installed on all NYC school buses. In September 2017 NYC DOE rolled out GPS on the Special Education routes. We continued to push for DOE to install GPS on General Education buses as well. We are glad to see the City Council agreed and will be voting today (10/17/18) to require NYC DOE install GPS Tracking on all NYC school buses.
"Our role is to advocate for our parents and children, and hopefully bring about change, and in this case, to see that our children arrive safely to and from school," said CEC President Michael Reilly.
