New Jersey S651 establishes a four-year pilot program for selected school districts to equip buses with GPS and develop a tracking app.

New Jersey S651 creates a four-year pilot program for selected school districts to equip their buses with global positioning systems (GPS). The Department of Education will develop a school bus tracking application. Eligible school districts must own and operate their own fleet of buses. The commissioner will select at least one district from the northern, central, and southern regions of the state. The GPS will provide real-time location and speed data, which will be transmitted to a mobile application accessible to authorized parents or guardians.
