Town Equips School Buses with GPS

Some South Jersey school buses are now equipped with GPS tracking devices.

All Gloucester Township police have to do, as police chief Ed Smith demonstrates, is look at a computer screen to monitor the location of any of the 11 township buses that now have global positioning system devices in them.

The system has a "black box" feature that allows the speed and direction of school buses to be recorded, and it provides an emergency call button that can immediately alert police of the bus's location.

Bonnie Chalfant heads the school bus drivers' union. She says drivers are on board:

"I've been a driver for 28 years, and I wish I had this the day that I started. Because I know one day that this button is going to save a child's life." Township officials hope to expand the GPS system to all 105 district buses.
