vi. Transport of Hazardous Materials<br />

Issue: Regulation and better driver awareness of what they are carrying.<br />

Comment: Participants did not feel this was a high priority issue, but did recognize the<br />

danger associated with transporting hazardous materials.<br />

Possible Action: Stricter provincial regulations.<br />

vii. Bus Trailers<br />

Issue: Trailers detaching from motor coaches.<br />

Comment: Participants did not feel this to be a high priority issue. They did feel however that<br />

permits should be enforced (they are presently required in <strong>Ontario</strong> only for “for hire” buses<br />

regulated by the <strong>Ontario</strong> Public Vehicles Act).<br />

Possible Action: The creation of a uniform application of rules requiring permits for all bus<br />

trailers.<br />
