The North Royalton City School District Transportation Department consists of a fleet of 65 buses and 6 vans. We employ 50 bus drivers, 9 substitute bus drivers, 3 van drivers, and 4 bus monitors. The garage staff consists of our Mechanic Supervisor, 3 mechanics, and a part-time mechanic's helper. The Transportation Office consists of our Transportation Supervisor, Administrative Secretary, and Data Entry Clerk. We transport more than 2,855 students by bus daily to 12 different buildings. Our buses travel over 532,500 miles and our vans travel over 34,900 miles safely each year.

Sincerely,

Transportation Supervisor

The North Royalton City Schools 2021-2022 transportation schedules for all students will be available on e-Link beginning Friday, August 13, 2021 after 9:00am.

Any transportation information you view for your student PRIOR to Friday, August 13, 2021

is preliminary information only and not final.

 

 The information you see on e-link represents the status of routes as of the moment you are viewing.  The Transportation Office reserves the right to make changes to this information as we meet the changing needs of the student population.

 

Expect the buses to be delayed the first few weeks of school, especially in the afternoon. Afternoon drop-off times are approximate. Buses cannot depart from the schools until they are released by the school administrator, which takes longer the first few weeks of the school year.

For up-to-the-minute bus status, download the Here Comes The Bus app. Please make sure to check the app for the status of your child's bus BEFORE calling the Transportation Department. We experience an influx of calls during the first several weeks of school, especially during peak times.

Peak times in the Transportation Department are from 6:30 am - 9:30 am and again from 1:30 pm - 4:30 pm. If you have an inquiry that is not urgent, please call between the hours of 9:30 am - 1:30 pm when our call volume is greatly reduced. 

e-Link is the way to view your student’s bus information. e-Link provides access to your student’s individual bus information giving you the most accurate information throughout the school year.

The North Royalton City Schools 2021-22 transportation schedules for all students will be available on e-Link beginning Friday, August 13, 2021 after 9:00 a.m.

As a part of this new system, the school will be offering an app for parents called “Here Comes the Bus.” This app can be downloaded on a mobile device in the app store and allows a parent and student to know when the bus is approaching the designated stop or entered the neighborhood depending on the selected settings in the app.

Use of the app is meant as an additional tool to assist parents in planning their morning routines and does not excuse “last minute” arrival to the bus stop, as this can create a potentially dangerous situation.  Students will still be required to be at their bus stop at least five minutes prior to their assigned pickup time and wait in their driver designated place of safety, as this is a state-wide rule as set forth by the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC 3301-83-13).

Parents will receive a notification when the bus is approaching, and the transportation department can send messages to parents in the case that the bus has a delay or breaks down.

The app uses a software called Synovia Solutions that was developed more than 16 years ago for company management of fleet vehicles.
