School Bus Stop Arm Safety Program TOH

Town of Hempstead School Bus Stop-Arm Program

This is a program of the Town of Hempstead. Town vendors install and maintain the cameras on school buses, and Town employees review the photo images and determine whether to issue a notice of liability.

This agency's only involvement is performing its obligation under New York State statute to adjudicate the issue of liability when a vehicle owner requests a hearing. A hearing will be scheduled only after the Town informs Nassau County Traffic & Parking Violations Agency that liability is being contested.

A corporation may contest a School Bus Stop-Arm ticket by appearance by an attorney. 

If you have any questions concerning this program, call 1-877-504-7080.

Nassau County Traffic and Parking Violations Agency does not accept payments of fines under this program.
