CHICAGO – A recent Chicago television investigation of traffic cameras in the city revealed school bus drivers racked up hundreds of violations and the companies that employ them are ignoring the fines.

Traffic camera footage ABC7’s I-Team secured through a public information request shows buses nearly missing people in the crosswalk while blowing through red lights, speeding more than 11 miles per hour over the limit, and other dangerous behavior at intersections throughout the city.

The buses – hauling students for Chicago Public Schools, Catholic private schools and suburban schools – racked up a total of 169 red light violations and 178 speeding violations citywide between January 2014 and February 2015, according to the news site.

The I-Team examined footage from the corner of Madison and Laramie on Chicago’s West Side, where six buses have blown red lights over the last year, as well as video of seven buses caught for the same violation on South Cornell near the Museum of Science and Industry.

The news site also counted six red light violations at the intersection of 75^th and State, and Hollywood and Sheridan near Lakeshore Drive.

“City cameras caught some dangerous near misses; twice buses were zooming by with people standing in the crosswalk,” the I-Team reports. “In the video, the light turns red and the bus rolls right through, turning right on red with a baby stroller at the corner and people ready to cross.”

Video showed that speeding buses are an even bigger problem.

“By the North Side’s busy Warren Park, a speed camera tops all others in the city with 26 speeding tickets for school buses,” according to the news site.

“We live close by and I see school buses going by pretty fast!” said Dulce Hatcher, a Chicago mother, told ABC 7.

“Two cameras a block apart in Marquette Park caught 23 buses speeding by, 17 of them at more than 11 miles over the speed limit. And in Mount Greenwood on the far South Side, a bus sped by at more than 11 miles over the speed limit, right past a little girl riding her bike,” according to the site.

The news investigation has many parents and residents concerned.

“That’s not good, that’s not safe at all,” parent Rholanda Gray said.

“That’s bad! You gotta pay attention when you’re driving. They’re supposed to be safe!” another parent, Britanny Bernard, told the I-Team.

Chicago resident Katie Aymar said, “You would think that any kind of bus would have respect for the people inside, and you know you want to keep them safe.”

The I-Team found three bus companies were responsible for the vast majority of the violations, and attempted to contact company officials. None responded for comment.

The West Side-based R&D Bus Company’s drivers ran 47 red lights and were busted for 89 speeding violations over the past year – roughly 40 percent of all bus violations in the city. Neither the company nor their drivers have paid a single ticket. About 80 percent of all tickets issued to school bus drivers citywide since 2014 are still unpaid, ABC 7 reports.

A R&D bus mechanic told the news site he wasn’t surprised the company was the city’s worst offender, but company officials refused to comment.

“The other two top ticketed companies, AM Bus and Illinois Student Transportation, never answered the I-Team’s requests for comment.”

Only one bus company, Durham School Services, provided a statement about the problem. The I-Team investigation showed Durham drivers received a total of one ticket in the city over the last year.

“As our top priority is the safety of the students we transport, the importance of complying with traffic laws is a key part of our training program for drivers. We therefore take any and all traffic violations very seriously. Should a traffic violation involving one of our drivers be brought to our attention, we will fully investigate the incident and take appropriate disciplinary action as well as provide retraining for the employee,” the company wrote.

CPS officials, meanwhile, assured the public they’ve got everything under control.

“Nothing is more important than the safety of our students, and we take great steps to ensure every student utilizing CPS transportation is safe and secure. The District thoroughly monitors driver performance, and we do not hesitate to terminate vendor relationships or impose driver bans if our high safety standards are not met,” according to a district statement.
