Rothwell to Introduce Motion for Stop Arm Cameras for School Buses

Installing stop arm cameras on school buses has been a hot topic for many local towns and it seems North Perth will not be any exception.

Listed in the council agenda this evening is a motion from Allan Rothwell to urge the provincial government to require all school buses to have stop arm cameras installed as early as the start of the next school year.

The hope is to have a passed resolution to be circulated with Premier Ford, the Attorney General, Minister of Education, Matthew Rae and provincial opposition parties.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Council of the
Municipality of North Perth urges the Provincial Government to:
a) Require all school buses to have stop arm cameras installed and
paid for by the Province for the start of the 2023-2024 school year; and

b) Underwrite the costs for the implementation and on-going annual
costs for Administrative Monetary Penalties in small and rural
municipalities;

AND FURTHER THAT this resolution be circulated to Premier Doug
Ford, Attorney General Doug Downey, Minister of Education Stephen
Lecce, Provincial opposition parties, Mathew Rae MPP, and AMO.
