What is the maximum time a student can remain in transit for school?

The maximum time a student can remain in transit for school is three hours. This guideline is established to ensure the well-being and comfort of students during their travel to and from school. Longer transit times could lead to fatigue and discomfort, which could negatively impact a student’s readiness and ability to learn once they arrive at school.

Maintaining a transit limit of three hours helps strike a balance between accessibility to education and the physical and emotional health of students. This regulation is particularly important for school bus operations, where ensuring that students have a smooth and efficient commute is a priority.
