Welcome to GVSD Regular Program Student Transportation
Please have your recent proof of address available for upload into the application form, or email proof to Transportation if having difficulties with the upload. The Registration Guide link on the form, provides examples of proof of address, but Transportation only requires one document. No drivers licenses, please.
Spectrum students living in the Highlands area should apply by selecting regular program bus option
Esquimalt students should apply by selecting BC Transit pass option
Students attending a “school of choice” due to enrollment in a special program or French Immersion do not qualify for District Transportation or SD61 BC Transit passes
Students living at two addresses may be eligible for service on two different routes/stops if both addresses are in catchment (select both parents living apart and enter info requested)
*Please be advised that BC Transit passes are given as required and not as requested. By selecting the BC Transit pass option, it is a preference only and not a guarantee. Transportation will make final decisions around whether students are serviced on a regular district route or provided a BC Transit pass based on bus capacity. *
