Video Surveillance on School Buses

NSTS and its contracted transportation providers use video surveillance systems on selected school buses to help support student safety, security, and the investigation of incidents that may occur during transportation.

Video surveillance may capture images of students, staff, visitors, and members of the public while using or interacting with school transportation services.

Personal information collected through video surveillance is collected under the authority of the Education Act and in accordance with the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA). Information is used only for authorized purposes related to student transportation safety, security, and operational requirements.

Appropriate safeguards are in place to protect recorded information, and access is limited to authorized personnel.
