Bus fees for 2009-2010
On May 12, the Board of Trustees approved the 2009-2010 bus pass fees. There will be no increase to families for bus passes for the 2009-2010 year, despite the fact that the cost of an Edmonton Transit Systems bus pass is increasing by 12 per cent and a yellow bus pass by 4 per cent. Annual and family passes will be slightly lower than the 2008-2009 costs. Edmonton Public Schools is able to maintain current fees through the use of a surplus in the Transportation department being used to cover the cost increase.
The City of Edmonton has determined that for 2010-2011, Edmonton Transit System passes will increase by an additional 10 per cent. An increase in the cost of yellow bus services is also expected. Although Edmonton Public Schools will continue to carefully manage its resources, parents should expect an increase in bus passes for the 2010-2011 school year. However, in response to those increases and to make transportation services more effective and cost efficient for students, the transportation department is undertaking a review of the services provided as they compare to the provincial requirements and funding. The purpose of this review is to minimize ride times for students and to try to minimize bus pass increases.
