60 Years of Advancement Achievement and Advocacy Message from GORD TAYLOR President, OSBA

he iconic, often utilitarian, humble and wartime-inspired Jeep turned 70 this year. After innumerable iterations, T rebirths, changes in ownerships and corporate strategy, the Jeep brand continues today with widespread recognition, respect and a bright future. Similarly, the Ontario School Bus Association is only 10 years junior to the Jeep and, like the four wheel drive, has evolved in scope and focus, met competition, been criticized by some and respected by others, morphed, adapted but has also become an icon, after 60 years of serving the Ontario school bus industry and its student passengers.

Presiding over the Association at 60 has been exciting at times as we moved forward strategically and indeed it has been difficult as we man- aged through the implementation of a new procurement model difficult for both suppliers and consumers. Over the past year we developed and embraced a set of values set on a fundamental framework of “contrib- uting to student success.” With this premise as a backdrop we began to embed the following values into the service we provide in Ontario: • Cost effective and efficient operations • Continuous improvement • Diversity in our workplaces • Further our contribution to a greener Ontario To enable us to ‘live” these values we gained broad support from the sector in nine strategic goals: • Shape the procurement process to lessen its negative impact on our industry • Increase the engagement with the OSBA membership • Train OSBA members to enable them to put their best foot forward in the procurement process • Ensure appropriate provincial funding for school bus transportation services • Promote innovative regional solutions to support the continued role for smaller operators under the new procurement process • Continue to propose, monitor and respond to regulatory and legislative changes • Increased focus on cross-province driver standards • Improve the marketing of the Ontario School Bus Industry • Evaluate additional member programs to create more benefits to OSBA membership School bus operators of all sizes from all parts of this Province have provided high quality, safe and secure transportation to Ontario’s 6 SCHOOL BUS ONTARIO 2011

ontario school bus GORD TAYLOR association President, OSBA students for many years. Many of these companies are second and third generation businesses. Central to our strategy is to educate, equip and enable these remarkable companies to continue to serve Ontario students in the face of new and daunting procurement systems required by Government. We are suc- ceeding in enabling this continuity of service; however there is much yet to be done in consultation with government to ensure truly great school bus providers are not lost to Ontario’s students. The reputation of Ontario’s School Bus Industry is very high because of the commitment made by operators and their association. We are endeavouring to feature and promote this “Ontario School Bus Brand” while combining it with robust standardization of training for our professional drivers. In the coming months we are expecting significant steps to be made public as we protect and promote the Ontario School Bus Brand. Internally we will support the work of the industry through many innovative approaches in member outreach and workplace enhancements for industry employees. We are confident that for students, parents, school councils, Board trustees and the public, the results will be measurable and significant. In 2011 and beyond, there will be an increasing need for a robust, professional, healthy, innovative, efficient transportation system to serve students in public education. As we have been for the past 60 years, the Ontario School Bus Association and its members are well positioned and excited to continue to be a key partner in student success as we embark on the next 60! Best Regards,

Message from RICHARD DONALDSON Executive Director, OSBA

his year marks the 60th anniversary of the Ontario School Bus Association (OSBA). More important than the past 60 T years will be the next 60 years. School bus regulations have changed tremendously since the 1950s—from the overhead warning lights to the 8-lamp system, special mirrors, pedestrian crossing gate to the bench with high back and padded seats to form what the industry refers to as compartmentalization. The improvements to child safety are illustrated on page 10 of this issue of School Bus Ontario.

School bus operators have always provided safe and reliable transportation. Service standards have grown leaps and bounds since the conception of the school bus. Today, safety is the top priority from the moment a child is picked up until they are dropped off with a parent or guardian. We provide quality service in the care of a responsible adult with impeccable driving abilities and required medical background to safely deliver your child to school and home. As transit fares increase and we continue to pay more at the pumps, the true value of school busing is apparent. Transport Canada states that school buses are the safest mode of transportation and in addition they reduce the carbon footprint necessary to sustain a healthy environment. For more information contact your local MPP or school board trustee. Operators render invaluable service to the parents and children of this province and have successfully done so by working with government and school board transportation consortia to ensure a healthy and SCHOOL BUS ONTARIO: LETTERS viable industry. We will continue to do so over the next six decades. The safe, secure, and on-time transportation derived from school busing is unparalleled. It is consistent with the expectations of government and school board consortia and in many ways surpasses the expectations we expect for our own safety in Ontario. Thank you for your continued support of the school bus industry over the past 60 years. I look forward, with anticipation, toward the future. Happy Reading.

Richard Donaldson Executive Director, OSBA

And those distinctive black side rails that run the length of a school bus (known as “rub rails”) are not just there to provide increased conspicuity, they form an integral part of the structural integrity system by adding www.kleenoil.ca strength and forming a barrier to protect passengers against intrusion in a collision. The placement of these rails is prescribed in regulation to optimize their effectiveness. Fires resulting from a school bus collision are extremely rare thanks to Federal Standard No. 301 - “fuel system integrity.” This standard introduced in the late 70s specifies requirements for the integrity of fuel systems to reduce the likelihood of fuel spillage and fires during and after crashes, including a robust steel cage that protects the fuel tank. Another Federal Standard No. 217 - “bus window retention” is intended to ensure school bus window frames are able to withstand an outward force representing a possible passenger ejection. Complimenting this standard is CSA D250 and the HTA which prohibits school buses manufactured and sold in Ontario on or after June 1, 2000 from having side windows that open more than 9 inches in order to help prevent ejections.
