Bussing families for the 2025-2026 school year start-up

• Our plan is to have schedules on the MyRide K-12 App through the week of August 18-22 for:
  •Eligible riders in all grades, including Universal Buses.
  •Seat Sale Charters for Shaftesbury, Oak Park and Viscount Alexander.
  •All Seat Sales which have been confirmed directly with families, including those serving daycares.
• Schedule information will not be emailed to families and will be available on the MyRide K-12 App. (link here on how to access the app).
• If your schedule is available on the app between August 18 and 29, your child can begin riding on their first day of school.

The best way to inquire about registration and bussing for the new school year is by email at transportationdepartment@pembinatrails.ca.

Our target is to respond to all emails within 3 business days.

2025/2026 School Bus Registration for Students:
