247 Endorses NTSB Resolutions H-15-2 & H-15-3

We at 247Security task ourselves to be pioneers in paving the way for improving the safety of pupil transportation. At the recent 2015 National Congress on School Transportation, the following Resolution was passed;

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has worked with the sponsoring Associations of the NCST over the years in promoting safety within the School Bus Industry. 

Whereas:  On March 3, 2015 they issued the following Safety Recommendation to the sponsoring Associations of NCST ( NAPT, NSTA, and NASDPTS) as well as the American Bus Association, the United Motor Coach Association, American Trucking Association, and the American Public Transportation Association. 

To: Encourage your members to ensure that any onboard video system in their vehicles provides visibility of the driver and each occupant seating location, visibility forward of the vehicle, optimized frame rate, and low light recording capability. (H-15-2)

Be it further resolved: That the NCST adopt this Resolution on May 20,2015 for the purpose of providing important data for accident investigations to enhance the safety of our school bus operations.

The NTSB recommendations were directed at involved parties to meet stricter criteria to further improve school bus safety through the use of more comprehensive onboard video security systems. As industry leaders we strive to meet and exceed safety standards set out by State and National organizations. In accordance with the new NTSB Recommendations, as well as the endorsement of the 2015 NCST:

We at 247Security resolve to continue to provide on-board video systems that provide visibility of the driver and of each occupant seating location, visibility forward of the vehicle, optimized frame rate, and low light recording capability. (H-15-2) 

We further commit to develop and provide written guidance for the initial installation and long-term maintenance of onboard video systems, and distribute that guidance on our website and user manuals. (H-15-2)
