Bus Route Changes
LR12A Maili Elementary bus route map

When will this begin?

• The drivers are currently notifying the riders and parents.

• Monday, April 3, 2023 is the beginning of the new route.

Why these changes?  

• During spring break a bus ride with Ground Transport, Inc. was taken for each route to identify areas of concern for safety.  These issues ranged from parked cars blocking the pathway, abandoned vehicles, and rural areas which were not safe for the students to be walking to/from a designated stop.  

What were the changes?

• The majority of the designated stops were relocated at the city bus stops. 

•  Ground Transport, Inc. will follow the city bus route.  

  • This will require all students to have a safe place to wait and be dropped off, the designated stops.

• Most stops were moved from residential addresses.

• The students will be walking in groups of neighborhood friends and not individually to these stops.  

• These changes will allow the driver to service the students safely from both sides of the streets.

  • No crossing of the street to catch the bus.

Thank you very much for your support with the required changes of addressing student safety.
