Transportation minister Jeff Yurek has announced new measures he says will give municipalities the tools they need to target drivers who don't stop for school buses.

The proposed plan would allow evidence from school bus cameras to be used in court without a witness.

Yurek also says he will introduce legislation with new, additional fines.

He says the province is taking steps to ensure students  arrive safely to school.
