Orange County recently signed a five-year contract with a Long Island-based firm to install cameras on school buses, enabling automated fines for stop-arm violations by motorists.

Washingtonville Central School District, the first school district in the county to sign up for the new program, will formally introduce it in early June, to be followed by three more districts in Newburgh, Middletown, and Kiryas Joel.
