Gwinnett County, the state's largest school district, placed cameras alongside its school buses in late 2014 to catch motorists who weren't stopping when school buses stopped to pick up or drop off students.
Between January and June 2015, Gwinnett’s school system collected $573,425 in fines. The school district uses the money it receives to cover costs for officers who review the footage and for transportation-related safety projects.
Cobb and Clayton counties, Decatur, Marietta and Atlanta are among the districts also using school bus cameras.
