Student Transportation Bussing

February 28, 2024

The Abbotsford School District bus fleet provides transportation to approximately 2900 students daily. This service also allows schools to book field trips and sporting events.  

The Transportation Department has student safety ‘top of mind,’ and we have two certified commercial technicians dedicated to working on the buses daily. Our staff follow a top-notch preventative maintenance program covering vital inspections that align with Federal Safety Standards and provincial Commercial Vehicle Safety Enforcement (CVSE), which meets all safety requirements.  

Our department has two bus bays, including two hoist systems, and state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to troubleshoot and maintain the buses. The ability to work on the fleet daily allows further agility and quick turnaround to keep the buses on the road without delay!  

Our bus drivers follow an ongoing development program that includes training in driving skills and abilities related to bus safety. They are also trained in emergency procedures and have level-one first-aid certificates.  

The transportation team is comprised of dispatchers, administrative staff, a foreman, mechanics, and the bus drivers who all endeavor to provide best in class transportation services to the district!
