Our mission is to provide friendly, safe, reliable, and efficient transportation service to all eligible bus riders. Did you know that a school bus is the safest mode of transportation for getting your child back and forth to school? Students are about 50 times more likely to arrive at school safe, if they ride in the bus ,than if they drive themselves or ride with friends. But did you also know that your child is much safer riding the bus than being driven by you? Add in the environmental and financial benefits, and it’s hard to find a reason to send your child to school any other way!

Routes & Schedules
Routes & Schedules
Bus routes are set by the Transportation Supervisor and approved by the Board of Education each school year with safety being the top priority and efficiency being an important consideration.
Each student will be designated one bus stop for pick up and drop off five days per week. The school district will establish, consolidated/cluster stops for student's pickup and drop-off. Students may walk up to .5 mile to these assigned bus stops.
School Bus Stop information is available one week prior to the first day of school. Post Cards will be mailed out to all eligible bus riders the week before Cuyahoga Falls City Schools begin with all pertinent bus information listed. If you did not receive your bus information, please call.
During the first two weeks of school there is a minimum of a 15 minute window for the school bus to arrive. Buses will run behind due to new students and numerous stop adjustments. After the first few weeks of school the bus will be on a regular schedule and stop arrival will only vary a little depending on traffic, mechanical failures, or any other unforeseen delays.
