Transport Canada is taking steps to equip school buses with additional cameras in a bid to bolster student safety, the ministry says.

The move comes after Ottawa mandated perimeter visibility systems on all Canadian school buses. The system assists drivers in identifying the presence of children near the bus while it is stopped or travelling slowly, Transport Canada said in a Feb. 3 press release.
