The province recently revised transportation eligibility for students in Alberta. Starting in the 2026–27 school year, there will be some changes to who qualifies for yellow bus service.
Students attending their designated school may be eligible for transportation service if they are:
-
in Kindergarten to Grade 6 and live at least 1.6 kilometres away (currently it is 1 km)
-
in Grades 7 to 9 and live at least two kilometres away and Edmonton Transit Service (ETS) is not available.(no changes)
Visit Applying for Yellow Bus Service for detailed information.
To apply for service in:
2026-27
The application form will be available in February 2026.
If your child is new to the Division and has been approved for bus service for the 2026-27 school year, you will receive a letter in mid-August that includes the yellow bus:
- route number
- stop locations
- pick-up and drop off times
- company contact information
Once you have access to SchoolZone, that is where you can find yellow bus information. Route information is also available at your child’s school and through SchoolZone before the first day of school.
