Greensboro, N.C. – Nearly half of Guilford County Schools students who requested bus transportation last spring do not ride the bus regularly. To provide more efficient and reliable service, the Transportation Department will update rosters and make adjustments to routes to reflect current ridership, helping reduce unnecessary stops, delayed arrivals and fuel use.
The 10-day ridership review period will run from Monday, Nov. 9, through Monday, Nov. 23, and includes the Veterans Day holiday on Wednesday, Nov. 11. Students who do not ride the bus for 10 consecutive days during this time period will be removed from bus rosters.
"We understand that sometimes plans change, and families who signed up for transportation months ago may no longer have that need," said Faye Crowder-Phillips, executive director of transportation. "This adjustment window will allow us to streamline routes and better use our limited resources to serve the thousands of students who do rely on the school bus each day."
Students who need bus service after the roster update may call their school's data manager to have a student added back. For other questions, families may call the Transportation call center at (888) 511-4GCS (4427).
Updated bus routes will begin in January, and students and families should look for updates through the Here Comes the Bus app.
