Approximately 1000 students in the Gulf Islands ride a bus or water taxi every day. Operating the school district transportation system is a complex undertaking. Thank you students and parents for respecting the policies and practices designed to maximize efficiency and access while ensuring safety for all riders.
Access to district student transportation services is provided in accordance with Board Policy/Procedure 410 Student Transportation, and Transportation Administrative Practices.
Any questions? Please contact the Transportation Department at 250-537-5723 or email transportation@sd64.org
Expect delays on routes that serve the south end of Salt Spring Island: buses 1,2 & 3
Please be prepared for unpredictable delays due to road construction at Fulford Ganges Road to the south of Ganges which is scheduled to start September 3rd and continue through the rest of this school year.
