School bus camera footage may soon be enough to prosecute drivers who pass the stopped vehicles in Ontario, with municipalities across the province also able to levy stiffer fines for the offence.

Transportation Minister Jeff Yurek said Thursday the Progressive Conservative government will make regulatory changes that will mean an additional witness is no longer required in order to use the camera footage in court.

Every day in Ontario over 837,000 children are transported to school by bus and bolstering safety programs is important, he added. The changes would also allow municipalities to move prosecution of the cases from the provincial court system to their own existing local tribunals and all fines collected will stay within the community, Yurek said.
