OPP To Enforce Law For 3 Days Due To Spike In School Bus Collisions

(LONDON, ON) -Officers with the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) West Region are taking steps to combat a recent spike in school bus crashes with a new traffic enforcement campaign aimed at ensuring the safety of our Regions school children.
The campaign, Safety Stops Here, runs from May 12, 2025, until May 15, 2025. West Region OPP members from 13 detachments will conduct enforcement blitzes for school bus runs using marked and unmarked cruisers. Officers will also adopt a bus by selecting a route and following the school bus to its destination.
Officers will focus their efforts on drivers who fail to stop for school buses with activated stop arms, in addition to those motorists who engage in unsafe driving behaviours like unsafe passing, speeding and following too closely.
OPP West Region is launching the campaign after officers responded to nine school bus collisions last month alone. While no injuries were reported, the frequency and risk to student safety is a growing concern. Stopping for school buses is not optional-its the law.
Risky driving behaviours around school buses are unacceptable. This initiative presents an opportunity to raise awareness through enforcement and education. The goal is to help ensure a safe end to the school year for students across our communities. Inspector Mike McConnell, OPP West Region Traffic Safety and Marine Manager.
