Officials say that motorists pass stopped school buses at least 50,000 times each day in the state, putting children at risk.
Operation Safe Stop is aimed at reminding motorists that state law requires them to stop for a school bus that is stopped and has its red flashing lights flashing.
Three school districts - Bethlehem, Brewster and Canandaigua - are getting special license plate reading equipment that will be placed on buses to help apprehend drivers who pass school buses illegally.
