Company Performance Metrics
Bus Safety Solutions is the company that developed the patented Extended Stop Arm device. Pilot programs have been completed in 23 US States and Canada. Installed on a school bus, it will reduce the number of vehicles illegally passing school buses by 50%-90%. There is an aluminum frame attached to the main bracket that supports the stop arm, which
is the Extended Stop Arm. Overall, it extends 6.5 ft from the side of the bus. The electrical system integrates with the existing system, including the lighting. Furthermore, the control board has a fail-safe to prevent drivers from accidentally damaging the Extended Stop Arm. A linear actuator or pneumatic cylinder consistently opens and closes the Extended Stop Arm while on the road and securely holds it in place. The sign has nylon shear pins that allow it to detach if it is struck.
