Transportation

Bus Routes and Stops

Students who attend the York County School Division, live within the county and outside of walking zones are provided free transportation to and from school. The Transportation Department determines bus routes, bus and driver assignments, bus stops and pick-up/drop-off times.

The York County School Division utilizes a software program to manage school bus transportation. The system allows families to find information regarding bus stop information and transportation eligibility. Families of students with special transportation needs can access information here and will still be contacted directly by their bus drivers.

Bus pick-up and drop-off times are approximate and can vary due to unforeseen circumstances.

Frequently Asked Questions

How did the division create routes?
Each route was established based upon the following criteria:

Addresses for all students eligible for transportation are taken into consideration when creating the bus stops
Ensure bus stop safety
Improve route efficiency
Achieve equitable ridership distribution
Alleviate disparity in ride length - establishing the majority of routes to as close to 35 minutes as possible

Why were some bus stops removed?
Neighborhood stops were reviewed to create as many centralized stops as possible, while adhering also to the division policy regarding distance between stop locations. In most cases we try to use intersections which are easy to locate and where motorists are more alert to pedestrians. Consolidating stops also keeps the buses moving and reduces ride times.

What does “No route info available” mean?
The student may not be registered to receive transportation. It is the parent's responsibility to ensure that transportation is requested at the school level. Make sure you have entered the correct grade level, street address and zip code for the student. If you continue to receive this response, the address may be within a School Board designated walking zone for that grade. If you do not live in a walking zone and receive this message, please contact your student's school, or 757-898-0344.

Will the system include more than just daily routes?
E-link does not provide transportation schedules for activity buses, field trips, athletic events or buses transporting students between schools while participating in specific programs such as Gifted, School of the Arts, NJROTC, etc.

What if we moved during the summer?
If your address has changed, please contact your child’s school to correct the student’s information prior to the start of the school year to ensure your student is assigned to the correct bus.
