Transportation

Our district currently transports approximately 2,800 students daily on thirty-five buses to fourteen schools traveling over 2,100 miles daily. We employ 35 drivers, 9 bus aides, 2 ASE certified mechanics, and one administrative assistant. All transportation employees must have a FBI/BCI background check prior to employment. Drivers must also complete all requirements from the Department of Education in order to be a school bus driver. Our main goal is to transport all eligible students to and from their destination in the safest and most cost effective manner.

 

Please feel free to contact us at 937-237-6385 should you have any questions or concerns regarding student transportation.

Transportation Information

  • Students whose home address is within 1.5 miles of the assigned elementary school are considered to reside in the Non-Eligible for Busing Zone. Transportation is not provided for students who reside in the Non-Eligible Zone. Use the Infofinder Tool to determine if your student’s home address is within the eligibility range for transportation.

  • Required Student Behavior While on School Bus: The drivers' primary responsibility is to operate the school bus on Ohio roadways in a safe manner. It is the students' responsibility to make sure the driver is not distracted by their behaviors. (ORC 3301-83-08)

    1. Students must observe the same conduct as is expected in the classroom.
    2. No fighting, no throwing objects in or out of bus.
    3. Do not eat, drink, or smoke/vape on the bus
    4. Keep the bus clean, keep the aisles and exits clear.
    5. Exit promptly and move to the designated Place of Safety.
    6. Obey the bus driver and the bus safety rules.
    7. Do not damage the bus or seats in any way.
    8. Stay in the seat. Keep head, hands and feet inside the bus.
    9. No use of profane or abusive language.
    10. The bus driver is authorized to assign seats and change the assigned seat when he/she feels it is necessary.

     

    Proper Way to Sit in a School Bus Seat: Each student shall sit in a position which will provide maximum protection by the seat back. ORC 3301-83-18). Students are asked to sit in the following manner: back to back, bottom to bottom, and feet to floor. Any other manner is unacceptable and unsafe. Backpacks and other items are to be kept in their laps.

    Place of Safety: A Place of Safety is a location clear of traffic and away from the bus stop designated by the driver. In the morning students are to be at their Place of Safety prior to the bus arriving at the stop. In the afternoons, students are to remain at the Place of Safety until after the bus has departed. (ORC 3301-83-13(B)(6)). Parents, please help us keep your child safe by reinforcing the Place of Safety rules with your students. Do not call your child out of the Place of Safety until the bus has departed.

    Hand Signals: The driver is required to check all of the mirrors to ensure that there is no traffic passing the bus. The driver will provide hand signals to your students indicating it is safe for them to board the bus or cross the street. Please help your student understand how important it is to follow the hand signals. It is for their safety.

    Danger Zone: The two most dangerous areas are in front of the bus and the right rear tire area. Never walk behind a bus. The driver is not able to see these areas!!! Stay out of these areas.

  • Each school year, the Transportation Department reviews and makes adjustments to bus routes and stop locations. We follow the State of Ohio guidelines for establishing bus stops while routing the buses in the most efficient way possible.

    Please be aware that this routing process may result in some students walking to a bus stop while the bus passes in front of their home.

    For student safety, we require students to arrive at the bus stop five (5) minutes prior to the scheduled pick-up time. Every attempt is made to ensure that buses arrive at the bus stop at the scheduled pick-up time. However, there are times that circumstances such as traffic problems, mechanical problems, weather conditions and human resource issues may cause a delay in pick-up times. Our first priority is to schedule eligible students who do not have transportation and we will work through any bus scheduling and bus stop issues as quickly as possible

  • All CTC buses will pick up and drop off students in the back of Wayne High School. Buses will depart Wayne at 7:20 am and return at 3 pm. The buses pick up in the southwest corner of the parking lot (in front of the football field). There’s ample parking for students at the same location. Parking passes can be purchased at Wayne. If there is a two-hour delay, buses will depart Wayne at 9:20 am. If Huber Heights City Schools close, there is no transportation to CTC.

  • Safety procedures for school buses are REQUIRED by state law. This includes things like using warning lights, directing students to a designated place of safety, and setting the parking brake when letting students off the bus.
