New Ways to Bus to school
Middle schools & high schools
Following the launch of the New Ways to Bus network on Sunday, April 27, there will be changes impacting 600-series school routes and regular routes with special school service. While some routes may not have any changes at all, other routes may:
- Be shortened, extended, or divided.
- Have changes in schedules and routing.
- Have some trips added or removed.
- Be removed, renumbered, or replaced.
Some schools that do not have dedicated 600-series school routes or special school trips on regular routes may still have their transit service impacted by the general spring service change. Visit the New Ways to Bus webpage for details and use the Travel Planner to plan your New Ways to Bus trip.
