Verra Mobility Champions Student Safety During National School Bus Safety Week

On October 20, 2025, Verra Mobility Corporation (NASDAQ: VRRM), a prominent provider of smart mobility technology solutions, reaffirmed its commitment to enhancing student safety through its participation in National School Bus Safety Week, observed from October 20 to 24. The company has introduced a comprehensive toolkit aimed at promoting safe school transportation practices across communities nationwide.

Recent statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reveal that nearly one in four drivers remain unaware of the legal implications of passing a stopped school bus with its stop arm extended, an act that is illegal in all states. Verra Mobility, as a leading provider of school bus stop arm enforcement technology, emphasizes the critical need for education in this area. The company has highlighted that children are particularly vulnerable to serious injury or fatality when boarding or exiting school buses.

During the current 2023-2024 school year, tragic incidents involving students have underscored the importance of this issue. Notably, a 15-year-old student in Alabama, another 15-year-old in Texas, and an 8-year-old in Georgia were all victims of illegal passing violations while approaching or leaving their school buses, underscoring the urgent need for heightened awareness and action.

To address these concerns, Verra Mobility has developed an educational toolkit designed to empower communities and organizations to raise awareness about school transportation safety. The toolkit includes ready-to-share social media posts, educational messaging, and essential statistics to highlight the importance of safe driving in school zones.

Communities can easily access and share these resources by visiting Verra Mobility's dedicated webpage for National School Bus Safety Week. The initiative encourages collective action, enabling individuals and organizations to help disseminate crucial safety information.

Verra Mobility's school bus stop arm program employs advanced technology to combat illegal passing incidents. When a school bus's stop arm is deployed, AI-enabled cameras capture video evidence of vehicles that disregard the law. This evidence is then securely transmitted and reviewed by law enforcement for appropriate action.

The effectiveness of these programs is notable, with studies indicating that 98% of drivers who receive a violation for illegally passing a stopped school bus do not repeat the offense. Additionally, some programs have observed up to a 67% reduction in citations from the start to the end of the school year.

David Dorfman, Senior Vice President at Verra Mobility, emphasized the importance of community involvement in ensuring children’s safety. "Children - our most vulnerable citizens – must be able to get to and from school safely," he stated. "This week is a great reminder that we can all make a difference and help improve safety for our children."

By partnering with communities nationwide, Verra Mobility aims to drive awareness and encourage responsible driving practices around school buses, underlining that no child's life is worth risking for a few minutes saved.

As a leader in smart mobility technology solutions, Verra Mobility is dedicated to improving the safety of school transportation systems across the nation. With its innovative school bus stop arm program and educational initiatives, the company is making strides toward reducing illegal passing incidents and enhancing the overall safety of students while traveling to and from school.
