A Message from the East Valley Transportation Director:

Here at East Valley, we put safety of students, staff and patrons as our number one priority. In the aspect of safety, we provide ongoing monthly training for staff, our vehicles are equipped with GPS and video systems as well as continuing to update our fleet to buses that have all of the updated safety features such as high seat backs.

We drive approximately 3,200 miles per day on 38 routes and transporting nearly half of the student population.

School Buses & COVID
As safety as our number one priority, there are processes that have been put in place to provide safe transportation while also following the safety guidelines for COVID-19.

Any students that are needing transportation services must first register to ride the bus at their school. This can be done with a simple phone call to the office. They will complete the form over the phone and send it in to our office. Once they are placed on the route, you will be contacted with busing information.

To maintain safe distances, we are currently operating at approximately 25% capacity. Students must sit one per seat with students from the same household sitting together. The very front row of the bus will remain unoccupied. All students are required to have an assigned seat for tracing purposes and are required to keep their mask on at all times.

Our staff is wiping down high touch areas with COVID approved sanitizer between each segment with a complete sanitizing process at the end of each day with an approved spray or UV lighting.

To do everything possible to keep everyone safe, please do not send your children to school if they are exhibiting any symptoms that could be related to COVID.

Please watch the video below for general guidelines to staying well and riding the school bus.
