Registration for the 2021-2022 school year is closed. Thank you to the more than 900 registrants who have submitted applications by the deadline. Our Transportation Department looks forward to planning and creating routes to accommodate as many riders as possible.
A late registration process is in place for any potential riders who have not yet registered. The District cannot guarantee late registrants will be approved. By completing a registration, potential riders will be put on a waitlist.
It's important to note that during peak periods, which includes but is not limited to the start of registration in late Spring and the start of the school year in September, the volume of requests is high.
You will receive an email from the District's transportation staff within 10 work days confirming the registration form has been completed and communicate potential next steps in the process. If you have not heard from the District's transportation staff within 10 work days after completing the registration, please email: FACL-Transportation-Mail@surreyschools.ca
To proceed with late registration, complete the PDF registration form here: 2021-2022 Bus Registration Form.pdf
If you have any questions or require assistance, please email: FACL-Transportation-Mail@surreyschools.ca
Please Note - Courtesy (fee paying) Students who applied PRIOR to June 30:
If you received a reply after completing the registration indicating your student has been waitlisted, it may take at least 10 business days (possibly up to October 1st) after school has already started to complete the courtesy assignment process. Families must make alternative transportation arrangements until a seat is awarded.
Families will be contacted by the school your student is attending if a seat has been awarded. Please do not call the school for more information before October 1st as they will not have it until a seat has been assigned by Transportation Services. Once payment has been collected a bus schedule will be delivered to the school. All families will receive an email indicating seating results by October 1st.
Eligible riders must live more than 4 kms from their catchment school for grades K-3 and more than 4.8 kms from their catchment school for grades 4-12.
