News item: Transportation Survey January 2020

About 33,000 Edmonton Public Schools students take the bus to and from school every day. Whether it’s on a yellow bus or Edmonton Transit Service, our transportation system is a crucial service that ensures students get to school safely and reliably. 

Currently, Edmonton Public Schools pays more for the transportation system to run than we collect in user fees and government grants. We raised bus fees for some students as of February 1, 2020. This fee increase helped us get closer to closing our funding gap, but not all of it.

We need to think more broadly about how Edmonton Public Schools provides transportation services to students, and what we charge for those services. We want to hear from you. Even if your child doesn’t take the bus, we are interested in hearing from you. The information collected through the survey will help us make transportation decisions for next school year.

The survey will be open until January 31, 2020.
