Due to the high volume of transportation applications needing to be processed at this time of year, all requests to change bus stop locations/times are on hold until October.

Before making a stop review request, please note:

• Specific criteria such as sightlines, road conditions, traffic volume, sidewalk/shoulder space, and other safety factors are carefully considered when creating all stops. Stop reviews can take several days to complete.

• New stops are only established when an in-boundary student would otherwise be required to travel more than the MAXIMUM DISTANCE TO THE BUS STOP as determined by Tri-Board’s route planning software. Requests to move stops that are within policy are unlikely to be approved.

• Parents/Guardians are responsible for the safe travel to and from the bus stop. The inability of the parent/guardian to supervise students travelling to, from, or while at the stop is not a justification to change the stop location or time.

• Tri-Board provides services for ~30,000 students and cannot make route or stop changes to align with parent/guardian’s work schedules or other convenience-based requests.

•  It is the parent/guardian’s responsibility to find alternate travel means if they do not wish to use the established stop while waiting for the review to be completed.

• Submitting a bus stop review request does not necessarily mean the stop will be adjusted.

To submit a stop change or review request:
