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.
Students qualify for transportation services if they live more than one mile radius from the school of residence. For students that access the bus, please arrive at the designated stop 5 minutes prior to the scheduled pick up time and ride only your assigned bus to and from school..
Again, with safety as our number one priority, students should be reminded that riding the bus is a privilege and should they be causing an unsafe situation for themselves or others, may lose that privilege.
To the right is a link to each school and the bus stops/times. Please remember - these times may vary and not be updated immediately on the website so we would encourage you to call the office to ensure the time posted is correct.
Our normal office hours are 6:00 am - 5:00 pm Monday through Friday. You can reach us by calling 509-241-5901. During the start of the year, the phones are very busy and if you leave a message we will get back to you within two hours.
