Brighton Central School District

Welcome to the Transportation Department

Important Transportation Information for the
2024-2025

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As spring continues we need to hear from you about your transportation needs for the 2025-2026 school year. Below are our deadlines for the various forms we need.

Form:	Due:
Request for Transportation to Private or Parochial Schools	April 1
Request for Transportation to BCSD Schools (CRPS, FRES, TCMS, BHS)	May 15
Request for Transportation to BCSD to Day Care Programs	May 15

We realize plans change. It is better to inform of us of your best guess by the deadline. It is much easier for us to change or remove a a stop location than it is for us to add one that didn’t previously exist.

A reminder to all CRPS and FRES parents:

The Transportation Department only honors bus passes on an emergency basis.

The Transportation Department will no longer accommodate same-day bus change requests.

However, we will always be committed to working directly with families that are having an unforeseen hardship on any given day. If you need assistance, please contact the Transportation Department [(585) 242-5100, ext 5806]directly or email us at: bcsd_transportation@bcsd.org.

Please note that your pass request is not considered process unless you recieve a confirmation (either by phone or email) from a representative from the Transportation Department. If you haven’t heard from us, you must assume that your request HAS NOT been processed.

Requests for a one-time bus change will be considered under EMERGENCY SITUATIONS ONLY and must be received by 11 am. To ensure the safety of our students, adequate time is required to make changes and to communicate revised plans to all parties. Requests received after 11 am may not be accommodated.

Submit your bus pass request request, in writing, to the Transportation Department at bcsd_transportation@bcsd.org .
In the subject line of the email please type: “BUS PASS REQUEST”. We receive many e-mails and it is important for us to see those for bus pass requests.
Requests must be received BEFORE 11 am, and must be acknowledged and approved by the Director of Student Operations, Mike Maloy, or his designee.
You will receive communication to verify that the request has been accommodated.
IF YOU DO NOT RECIEVE A REPLY, THEN THEN REQUEST IS NOT YET APPROVED.

Please contact the Transportation Department with any questions or concerns at 242-5200, Ext. 5806. Our office is open and available to recieve phone calls from 7am to 12:30 and from 1:30 to 5 pm.

Thank you,

Dr. Mike Maloy
Director of Student Operations

Luis Lopez

1. Be at the bus stop 5 minutes before pick up time.

2. Listen to your bus driver and monitor at all times - wait for the bus driver's signal to cross.

3. Respect the property and personal rights of others while at the bus stop and on the bus.

4. No skateboards, golf clubs, large musical instruments, skis or creatures (dead or alive) on the bus.

5. Do NOT Eat Food or Drink on the bus.

6. Please refer to the Parent Handbook (Parent Information Guide) for the school year for bus transportation rules and guidelines.
For students in grades K through 2, we ask that a parent or authorized adult be visible to the driver at the stop location.

For students in grades 3 through 5, we ask that the parents provide a safe option when the child gets off, it's NOT required that an adult be present. If the child has a key please be sure they have it.

REMEMBER: PM drop times may vary based on ridership.
Bus transportation is provided by First Student under contract with the Brighton School District. Transportation is provided for K-2 students living at least 1/8 mile from school, for 3-5 students living at least 1/4 mile from school, and for 6-12 students living at least 3/4 mile from school. Our goal is to provide all Brighton students with safe, pleasant and efficient transportation.

Bus schedules are mailed to parents during the last two weeks in August. Please allow a week or so for the bus to get on a regular schedule. Beyond that time, notify the transportation department of any problems with the bus schedule at 585-242-5200 Ext 5806.
Please be sure the transportation office has accurate information for day care and/or babysitting arrangements as they affect bus pick-up and drop-off. It is important you keep this information updated with any changes by using the Transportation Form that can be found on-line and at school.

Requests for a student to ride on an AM bus other than the one assigned MUST BE MADE IN WRITING and given to the AM Bus driver. In the PM, a child is only allowed to ride another bus with a Bus Dismissal Pass that is filled out and turned into school the day of the change. Bus dismissal passes are available for K-5 children on-line or the school's office.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
