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)

Wireless Video Surveillance: A Capital Idea
Wireless Video Surveillance: A Capital Idea
by Art Gissendaner
While the consensus in the student transportation industry is that wireless is the future of school bus video surveillance, experts say the interest in wireless systems is increasing faster than the capital school districts need to buy them. They also caution transportation officials to be sure of their needs before shopping for a surveillance system, and to never leave home without their information technology (IT) specialist.

Commenting on this article in Student Transportation News, 247Security’s Robert Scott, V.P. Sales and Marketing stated,
"This is a great article in STN bringing the reality of wireless video management in school busing to the forefront. As our customers in Sumpter, FL and Washoe, NV confirm, 247Security wireless solution TouchDown™ is the next level of video management bringing video and GPS together right at your office desk. It is a time and money saver, the next generation of video management. If we take exception with anything in the article it is that we believe wireless fits in all school bus operations, regardless of size. It is an obvious benefit in large operations, but my experience is that managers and their staffs, in small operations, are very busy people wearing many hats! Anything that saves time and money fits!
If we can offer any advice when looking at wireless options, it’s ask a lot of questions. Can the system talk with many vehicles at once? Can it actually download video files, how long does that take? Can the system operate, downloading data long after the buses are shut down for the night. Best approach is to get a live demonstration!
TouchDown™ is in operation in many districts across the country and we will be happy to describe, in detail, all that it can do for you."

The American School Bus Council is proud to salute our Partner: 247Security Inc.
While introducing their new wireless technology this past year, 247 chose to give the ASBC Champions presentation at approximately twenty meetings, with each meeting having fifteen to twenty attendees. The ASBC Champions presentation touts the safety, environmental, and educational benefits of the yellow school bus, and is powerful tool to educate our own industry and others about the benefits of the yellow school bus. Ed Donn, Industry Consultant for 247Security, said they included ASBC's Champions presentation to make their meetings "worthwhile" and for their vendors to see the importance to the yellow school bus.
ASBC thanks 247 for all their hard work. By using ASBC materials and messaging, 247 is helping ASBC meet our goal: protecting and promoting the yellow school bus.
