Bus routes for the school year are processed 15 days after the application deadline date. If a student is to change his/her address after that time, Bus To School will try to accommodate the student to the best of their ability. Subject to availability, the student will be accommodated on an alternate route at an existing stop location and may have a longer walking distance. There will be no refunds granted due to an address change occurring 15 days after the deadline.

However, we suggest that if parents are aware of the new address ahead of time that they fill out the application accordingly.
A request for an address change after 15 days of the application deadline, will have to be made on the address change form duly filled and signed , scanned and e-mailed with e-transfer payment for the administration fee.

The processing time for an address change is 10 business days from the date of receipt of the signed address change form and E-transfer payment for the fee.

Click here to complete and submit the Address Change form.

Your application will not be processed if Pre-authorised payment is returned back to us as an NSF. All NSF payments must be replaced immediately by e-transfer payments and must include the $50 NSF service charge.

The number of buses is decided on the basis of the number of students who apply for busing. Therefore, parents must commit to the busing program for a full year. If you no longer require busing from us no refund will be issued.

Withdrawals can be made within 15 days after the application deadline for a refund. An administrative fee of $50 will be deducted from the refund.

Exceptions:

If the target walking  distance, as mentioned in the application package is not achieved, you will have the option of a full refund provided you notify the Bus to School program in writing within 10 days of receiving your confirmation e-mail. It is not applicable to one-way riders, late applicants and address change riders, since they are accommodated at existing stop locations.

We may not be able to provide busing for each and every student who requests it. If we are not able to provide busing for any reason, you will be notified and a full refund will be issued.

Each year the bus routes are structured to accommodate the students enrolled in Regional Programs as per the boundary defined by school boards to the best of our ability. Each school year the bus routes change and are based on the applications received before the application deadline. We will do our best to provide the closest and safest stop to each rider. Safety and efficiency are key considerations in creating the bus routes. Drivers are not permitted to make any changes in stop locations. Please note that students are not to ask the bus driver to drop or pick them up at other locations. We will strive to have a distance of less than 750 meters from the student’s home to the bus stop.

One way applications are processed only after all prior applications have been accommodated and only if space is still available and are accommodated at existing stops. Parents will be responsible for getting students to existing stops as one-way riders will be accommodated at existing stop locations and riders may have to walk a distance of more than 750 meters.

Applications received after the application deadline, are processed only after all prior applications have been accommodated and only if space is still available. Routes will not be altered to accommodate late applicants. Parents will be responsible for getting students to existing stops as late applicants will be accommodated at existing stop locations and riders may have to walk a distance of more than 750 meters.
