I don't like our bus stop. I would like a stop changed or added. What do I do?

From time to time, special circumstances may exist that make your family's needs unique. Bus stops are created to make routes efficient and safe. It is our policy to create group stops whenever feasible so we can pick up as many children as possible at each stop. Door-to-door stops increase the time of bus runs, and are therefore avoided unless necessary. A bus stop that is not located in your line-of-sight from your home does not constitute a hardship. A bus stop may be around a curve or corner from your home, or across the street, if it is more sensible when creating an efficient bus route. If you feel you have an extraordinary circumstance that needs to be accommodated, please contact us to discuss your situation.
