General Information About School Bus Delays
Traffic congestion and varying road conditions can impact on the flow of traffic in Toronto, and this is particularly true during the winter months when snow and ice can be a major factor.
The Toronto Student Transportation Group is pleased to provide information about school bus delays digitally through their website
Cancellation of school bus transportation or school closures due to inclement weather will be reported through the following vehicles:
News releases to all media outlets in Toronto (Note: although the news release is provided to the media outlets, there is no guarantee that all television and radio stations will broadcast the information in a timely fashion.)
Communications will endeavour to send an email to everyone on exchange to advise them of any cancellations or closures
Schools will be asked to update their phone messages to reflect the status of school operations.
Communications will also endeavour to send out the information electronically to E-News subscribers (Note: If you do not already subscribe to E-News, but wish to do so, please visit our website and click on the E-News icon on the top right hand side of the homepage) Twitter will also be used to provide updates throughout the day. Follow the Board at Twitter@TCDSB. Updates will also be posted on the Board’s 24-hour information line, 416-222-8282, extension 2873.
The information will also be posted on the Board's Website as an alert—this will appear on the home page of the website as well as all school pages.
