Strobes for Buses

The visibility of school buses operating in the Rainy River district is being enhanced.

Buses are being equipped with strobe lights, made possible through funding acquired by Safe Communities Rainy River District and C-N Rail.

Local Iron Range Bus Lines manager Terry Higgins supports their use.

"It's definitely beneficial," says Higgins. "Anytime you can increase the visibility of a vehicle carrying children it's definitely a plus."

Local bus operators are responsible for the installation of the new safety feature, which Higgins says takes only a couple of hours to complete.
