A state organization released statistics Thursday about an effort to cut down on the number of motorists who pass school buses illegally.
The Canandaigua School District was one of three districts across the state where cameras were put on school buses; those cameras can read license plate numbers.
The cameras captured 22 illegal passes over a 40-day period in the Canandaigua district.
The New York Association for Pupil Transportation said at least 50,000 cars illegally pass school buses daily in New York State.
The project was supported by a grant from the Governor's Traffic Safety Committee and the National Highway Traffic Safety Committee.
