Eligibility for transportation assistance is determined by the distance between your home and the school. There is no fee for transportation. For more details, please talk to the staff at your child’s school after you register them.
To see if your child is eligible for transportation assistance visit Student Transportation Services of Waterloo Region:
- Click on “Which School do I Attend”
- Enter the home address
- Choose Waterloo Region District School Board
- For Elementary (JK to grade 8) students, choose the grade level (for example: “3”)
- For Secondary (grade 9-12) students:
- Choose “ESL” as the grade to see the ESL school
- Choose the grade (example: “10”) for the home school / non-ESL school
- Click “View Transportation Eligibility” under the school information
If eligible, elementary students (kindergarten to grade 8) will receive a school bus.
If eligible, secondary students (grade 9-12) will need to wait until registration at the school to hear if they will receive a Grand River Transit bus pass or a school bus. This depends on their school and their home address.
