Transportation Update: All School Buses Running on Monday

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Friday, March 27, 2026

The Consortium is pleased to announce that all student transportation services will resume full operation on Monday, March 30. All school bus routes serving the City of Greater Sudbury and all outlying communities are scheduled to run.

While service is resuming, we want to remind families that winter conditions continue to pose challenges. Due to the significant snowfall received, many roadways remain narrow. As a result, drivers may still need to use the mTransport application to notify parents when a bus cannot safely access a stop. We encourage parents to monitor the app closely for updates.

We also ask motorists across Greater Sudbury to be mindful that some roadways cannot safely accommodate both a school bus and another vehicle at the same time. Your cooperation in yielding to school buses helps keep students and drivers safe.

Parents are reminded that they always have the final decision regarding their child’s safety. If you believe conditions are unsafe for your child to walk to the bus stop or to school, you may choose an alternate arrangement that best supports your family’s needs.

The Consortium continues to work closely with the City to ensure that problematic roadways are addressed as quickly as possible.

At this time, we also ask parents and schools to remind students that bus drivers must remain fully focused on the road. Drivers cannot safely manage student discipline while navigating challenging road conditions. Please encourage your children to remain seated, speak quietly, and help maintain a calm environment so drivers can concentrate. 

We extend our sincere thanks to families, schools, and the community for their patience, support, and understanding throughout the past week.
