摘要：	Since the original stop-arm violation study completed in February 1996, the Florida Department of Education (DOE) and Florida's 67 school districts have been involved in various efforts to educate the motoring public about Florida's school bus stop law (F.S. 316.172) and the dangers that committing stop-arm violations presents to students. Many of these efforts were the result of recommendations contained in the February 1996 final report. Some of the methods used for education and awareness included the use of public service announcements (PSAs), brochures and pamphlets, targeted law enforcement, and a toll free WATS line (1-888-STOP-4-Kids) for motorists and others including school district staff such as school bus drivers to report motorists whom they witness committing stop-arm violations. At the request of the DOE, the Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR) performed a follow-up study to the study completed in February 1996 to once again measure the extent of the current statewide stop-arm violation problem. In addition, the follow-up study was carried out in an attempt to determine the effect of the various strategies employed by the DOE and school districts to reduce this problem. Unlike the previous study, the aim of this current study was to quantify the extent of the stop-arm violation problem in comparison to the data recorded in 1995.3 and not necessarily to develop a host of countermeasures, additional educational and awareness measures, and/or future research as was done as part of the February 1996 study. However, a set of general recommendations are included as part of this final report.
