Bus Info: Routes and Waitlists

Date

Dear families,

With only one week to go until the first day of school, we wanted to provide some updates about school bus transportation.

Route notification

An email will be sent to families who have been assigned a bus route.

If you are in-catchment or fall under one of the exceptions, and do not receive route information by this Friday, September 3, please contact bussing@sd62.bc.ca.

Capacities and waitlists

Most of our routes are now nearing or at capacity (full). Late registrations and out-of-catchment registrations will be placed on waitlists if bus routes are full. You will be notified by our Transportation Department if a spot becomes available on a bus.  

Connecting with our Transportation Department

Due to volume of inquiries, we have a triage system in place. We are prioritizing in-catchment registrations who have not been placed on routes, followed by, route inquiries, out-of-catchment requests and assistance with Ride 360. Historical data shows that another surge of registrations will come this week and next. Our team is doing its best to work through the current list of registered riders, so please expect delays when trying to reach the Transportation Department.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,

Harold Cull
Secretary Treasurer
Sooke School District
