Dear School Bus Operators,

We would sincerely appreciate your help with this 4 question survey.

The Ontario Minister of Transportation has been directed by the Premier to review Ontario’s inter-city bus regulatory regime and develop recommendations.The Ministry is considering different ways of modernizing the Public Vehicles Act and Regulation 982 in order to both increase the number of intercity bus users and to improve the overall intercity bus traveling experience. Please help us identify issues or concerns about the current Public Vehicles Act regulatory system from a school bus operator’s perspective by answering a few questions in this survey.  If you have any further questions, please contact Dave Carroll, dave@omca.com, 416.695.9965 Ext. 4.
