    In our November 28, 2025 response to the Westboro Coroner's Report Recommendations, OPTA established a new Safety and Training Committee, where recent serious transit bus collisions will be included as a standing item. This committee will provide a structured forum for members to share lessons learned, discuss contributing factors, and advance best practices using a safe systems approach. Sabrina Pasian, Chief Safety Officer for OC Transpo has volunteered to Chair the new committee.
