Transportation Information

If the alternate address meets the eligibility requirements of being within your child’s school boundary and outside the walk-to-school distance, contact your child’s school to complete a Child Care or Custody Transportation form. Please note: you must have a fixed, regular schedule. Please call our office at 1-888-526-5552 to discuss your needs, if you still have questions.

For safety and efficiency, school vehicle stops are created centrally to accommodate a multiple number of students. Unless for exceptional conditions as determined by Transportation Services, school vehicle stops will be a minimum of 200 metres apart.

Any request for a change in service or new stops must be submitted through your school or directly to Transportation Services. Transportation Services will approve this request based on the policies and procedures. The school will be notified of the outcome of the request. All stops must be authorized by Transportation Services.

Transportation is only provided for eligible students to/from home and school.

Temporary changes to transportation cannot be accommodated under our policies and procedures.

Please contact your child’s school to inform them of any address changes.

Any request for a change to a stop location or for the addition of a bus stop must be submitted through your school or directly to Transportation Services. After reviewing the request a decision on whether the request can be approved will be made and notification will be given to the school to contact the person making the request. All stops must be authorized by the Transportation Services.

Transportation requests received from the school by 4 p.m. each Wednesday will be processed for transportation to be effective the following Monday morning.

The school bus is considered to be an extension of the classroom and, as such, student conduct detrimental to the safe operation of the bus or to the safety of others riding on the bus, will not be permitted. Every student is responsible to the principal or designate of the school that the student attends for their conduct while on the school bus. If you have an issue to report, please speak with the principal or designate at your child(ren)’s school.

Concerns regarding stop locations should be submitted to the school or Transportation Services directly for review. All stop changes must be authorized by Transportation Services.
