Descoteaux suggested a pilot of 10 large and 5 special-education buses out of a fleet of over 100 serving about 9,000 students, citing 12 apparent violations at one intersection in a single afternoon. Robinson said the council has heard from a vendor before and asked whether the city can require it since it pays for transportation; the school committee would be approached. Passed by voice vote.
