EOD-P0 - School Bus Lane Service
Section E: Operations (Property and Transportation)
The Prairie Spirit School Division shall provide lane service to eligible students where the following requirements are met:
Where the distance along the lane from the yard to the nearest public road is more than 1/4 of a mile, and then, only if the lane is suitable for school bus travel;
Where the pick-up point would also be a turn around point on the bus route, and in the interest of safety, the school bus may be permitted to go into the yard to turn around, when it is considered not safe to do so at the end of the lane;
Where, in the case of the lane being less than 1/4 of a mile, the student concerned requires transportation either through medical certification as being physically handicapped, or as an exceptional student who may require transportation in accordance with departmental regulations;
Where, in the opinion of the Transportation Supervisor, the location of the student pick up/drop off is not suitable for reasons of visibility, traffic level, student age or other safety considerations, an alternative pick up/drop off point may be designated;
Where the lane and yard are maintained in a satisfactory condition to provide free access for the bus year round, without time interruption to the route (i.e., gates).
