Transportation

The vision of the Calvert County Public Schools Transportation Department is to be a leader in student transportation by continuously improving our services through innovation, training, and community engagement. We strive to create a transportation system that is not only safe and efficient but also enhances the educational experience of our students by ensuring timely and dependable access to educational opportunities. By integrating cutting-edge technology, we aim to set new benchmarks in transportation safety, reliability, and service quality.

Transportation uses technology to enhance safety and security by providing:

1. Two-way radios so bus drivers can communicate with our office.
2. Audiovisual recording systems on the buses to assist with the investigation of concerns.
3. Live global positioning systems (GPS) on each bus. This allows parents to know where the bus is in proximity to the assigned bus stop. Learn more about the Here Comes the Bus App

As per CCPS Procedure 4201.3.C.i.:

“Students shall be assigned the school bus/vehicle stop nearest their homes as determined by the Director and/or his designee. At no time will the maximum one-way walking distance to the school bus/vehicle stop from the end of the driveway of the student's residence be greater than one-half mile for elementary students and one-mile for secondary students. Daycare providers are responsible for transporting students to and from school bus/vehicle stops. Students will also not be required to walk along roads with a speed limit of 45 MPH in order to access a bus stop.”
