Security cameras have been installed system wide and installation of a new fare collection system, likely involving smart card technology, will start next year.

As a result of the investigation conducted by Division 11 Detectives, with a little help from the surveillance footage from the camera on the bus, the suspect was quickly identified and apprehended.

Video surveillance system helps Jacksonville, Fla., investigate customer complaints and keeps passengers and employees safe.

"This coach camera system is proving to be valuable," Federal Way police Cmdr. Stan McCall said. "If not for the images, of course, all we would have to go on would be a detailed description."

The cameras will capture the kids getting onto the bus, and the GPS unit will track the ride the entire way. Students will also swipe ID cards when they get on and off the bus, so that district officials and parents will know exactly who's on board.

"The cameras are intended not only as a tool in accident investigation but will also identify trespassing, security and vandalism problems along rail lines." said Richard Soukup, the agency's chief mechanical officer.
