Transportation Department

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 a supervisor, 3 mechanics, and a part time mechanic's helper. The transportation office consists of a supervisor, administrative secretary, and 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,

Greg Hovan
Transportation Supervisor

Here Comes the Bus


August 27, 2020 UPDATE: At this time, Here Comes The Bus is having technical difficulties. We are working with the provider to solve the issue as quickly as possible. Please continue to check back as we will let you know when the system is up and running.

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.
