Logan Bus Company, the largest school bus provider for the New York City Department of Education, is converting five of its diesel buses to electric buses to participate in this demonstration project.

“Logan Bus is excited to be the first company in the New York City school bus industry to introduce an all-electric vehicle,” said Corey Muirhead, executive vice president of Logan Bus & Affiliates. “We have heard loud and clear the Governor, Mayor, City Council, and parent body, who have advocated for electric vehicles.

Reckless drivers, beware. Cameras are coming to New York City school buses to catch you. The high-tech cameras will record license plate numbers of drivers illegally passing school buses when children are getting on and off the bus.

Logan Bus Company has a contract with the city providing nearly 2,000 school buses. During the upcoming school year, 10 city school buses will be equipped with the cameras as part of a trial program. The cameras are already on some buses for a pilot program in the East Meadow School District on Long Island.

"There's been quite a few instances where not only one car will not stop, but six at a time will blow past a school bus while the stop sign is out," Logan Bus Company Vice President Corey Muirhead said.

Logan Bus Company, which already contracts 1,900 buses with the city, will foot the bill. The buses will travel “heavily congested” routes said Corey Muirhead, Logan’s Vice President, collecting data for DOE to study areas where the worst offenders drive.

Company vice president Corey Muirhead said he believes the cameras will increase student safety.”

"We want the safest and most reliable drivers on the road at every single stop, at every single place, and at every single school,” Director of Contracts & Business Development of Logan Bus Company Cory Muirhead said.
