Pursuant to the Motor Vehicle Safety Act (S.C. 1993, c. 16), the Canadian Federal government has created a number of motor vehicle safety regulations. Many of these regulations are patterned after the federal motor vehicle safety standards developed in the U.S. by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Provided here are links to the key MVSRs governing school bus construction, in total or in part. These regulations, and all others, are found on the Transport Canada Web site.
