Bus Cancellation Procedures
Each year, school bus routes are cancelled due to adverse weather or road conditions. The decision is made by the Simcoe County Student Transportation Consortium, and the procedure used for decisions is as follows:
-
Between 5 and 6 a.m., school bus operators and staff assess weather and road conditions by driving the roads, speaking with the OPP and contacting bus drivers in strategic locations throughout Simcoe County.
-
If weather or road conditions are deemed unsafe, the bus operators and Manager of Transportation Services decide by 6 a.m. whether buses will be cancelled system-wide, in certain zones or on individual routes.
The decision to cancel or alter transportation services will be broadcast on local radio and TV stations.
Parents should be aware that morning inclement weather cancellations are effective for the remainder of the day, therefore buses cancelled in the morning will not be running at the end of the day. The following link will notify families of any bus cancellations.
