  11. ROUNDROCKPILOT Pilot Ran For One Month April 16th –May 21st

  12. HOW ITWORKS • Automation software records all “events” based upon the activation of yellow lights. • Motion detection software is used to identify potential violations • Exterior camera housing is installed on the bus to monitor up to five lanes of traffic • Optional internal cameras are installed to manage safety hazards inside the school bus • Once evaluated against city-authorized criteria, we provide law enforcement with a comprehensive evidence package to ultimately determine whether a violation occurred. • Data, including video and still images of license plates and vehicles, is securely transmitted to a central server where it undergoes a triple verification process. • We print and mail notices for violations after approval by law enforcement. 12

  13. LEADING-EDGETECHNOLOGY • Safety camera systems equipped with industry-leading SMARTcam™ software, providing unmatched functionality and flexibility. • Cameras are unobtrusive, and easily installed and operated on any school bus. • Cameras can capture multiple viewpoints across multiple lanes, even in low light or poor weather conditions • System automatically detects vehicles in the violation zone – no action is required by the bus driver • SMARTscene™ full-motion video system provides situational awareness before and after each incident

  14. SECUREDATACAPTURE • Camera systems instantly capture a variety of data law enforcement needs to effectively evaluate incidents and determine whether violations occurred, such as: • Hi-resolution still images, including a wide angle image of the incident scene and a zoomed image of the license plate • 12 to 16 seconds of HD video detailing the incident • Date, time, location and bus route of each incident • All data is digitally signed, encrypted and secured at the moment of capture. It’s immediately transmitted to a central processing server, preventing interception and manipulation of the evidence while ensuring the highest level of protection to the chain of custody.

  15. VIOLATIONPROCESSING • Triple Verification: All incident data undergoes a comprehensive, triple verification review from our in-house processing specialists. Each incident is reviewed three times by three different specialists prior to submitting evidence packages to law enforcement. • Custom Criteria: Each client can determine the factors for processing specialists review – we don’t have a one-size-fits-all approach. • In-House Mailroom Services: Unlike competitors, all printing and mailing of documents related to violations are done in-house. No disruption of the chain of custody, and we maintain control of all data throughout the violation process.

  16. VIOLATORSUPPORTSERVICES • Call Center: Multi-lingual call center available 11 hours a day, five days a week, providing the public with an avenue to get their questions answered. Some 24,000 calls are received monthly – and nearly 98% of those calls can be handled without the need for local law enforcement involvement. • Online Support: www.PhotoNotice.com where violators can view the images and video associated with their violations, and make payments.

  21. DETERRENTEFFECT As the only company with experience issuing tickets, we are the only service provider than demonstrate the actual deterrent that is created by fining the motorists who unnecessarily endanger children.

  22. JUDICIALRESULTS Current experience indicates only 21% of tickets are contested thereby reducing court costs. 79% of citations issued are paid by violating motorists within 90 days after reviewing their violation in video form on a secure website Legally compliant and court defensible Comprehensive evidence packages 22

  23. EDUCATIONALPARTNERS • The only way to become a deterrent is to increase driver awareness through ticket issuance. • Proactive role in the creation of public service announcements, press releases and safety training at the start of any program: Press Releases, ArticlesParent Communications • Active participants in conferences, seminars, and conventions to improve industry awareness • Assist communities in their local efforts to improve driver education at start of school or any requested school event with Educational Brochures • Tailored solutions to capture violations and seamlessly issue tickets in your community 23

  25. INCREMENTALREVENUE (assumes 180 school days with a .75 ticket per day average at an estimated $379 per ticket) • Texas Transportation Code – Section 545.066 – Passing a School Bus; Offense $200 to $1,000 • Revenue above illustrates the estimated gross fine per bus per year 25
