Transport Minister André Fortin left the door open Tuesday to the possible installation of photo radar cameras on school buses to punish drivers who fail to stop when flashing lights are on. Fortin was speaking at a Fédération des transporteurs par autobus press conference launching the 30th School Bus Safety Campaign. In 2015, a pilot project allowed Ottawa to install cameras on the stop arms of certain school buses and the project found that there was an average of five offenses per day on each bus route. With the project report in hand, the federal capital announced in November that six cameras, costing between $16,000 and $18,000 each, would be permanently installed on school buses.
