Transportation director reports rise in bus incidents; cloud camera system estimated at $52,000
Summary
Illini Central transportation report noted delivery of two new buses, 177,397 miles driven by fleet to date, and increasing on-bus incidents; district staff said a cloud-based camera system would cost over $52,000 and remains under review.
During the May 21 meeting, the Transportation Director's report—reviewed by Superintendent Dr. Jennifer Durbin—noted that two new buses had been delivered and the district's 10 buses and 2 vans had driven a total of 177,397 miles as of May 4. The report said there has been an increase in incidents on buses that require camera footage; district staff are weighing the move to a cloud-based video system, which would cost "over $52,000."
Superintendent Dr. Durbin told the board the district is reviewing the pros and cons and the financial obligations before deciding whether to proceed with the cloud solution. The board did not take a formal purchasing vote at the May 21 meeting; the transportation update was informational and will be considered during budget and capital planning.
