Welcome to our transportation Web page!

The Guilderland Central School District runs an average of 90 buses each daytraveling more than 1.4 million miles a year (that’s to California and
back every school day) to 65 different schools! Approximately 5,300 public school students, 400 private and parochial students and 120 special needs students ride Guilderland buses daily.

School closings, delays and early dismissals
School closings, delayed openings and early dismissals resulting from weather conditions or other situations will be posted on the homepage of the Guilderland Central School District Web site. Additionally, individuals may access school closing information via School News Notifier and various media outlets. Please do not call the bus garage for information about school closings, since this ties up phone lines and can prevent receipt of important calls. Learn more

Bus route schedules
For specific pick-up times, please refer to the postcard mailed home to all families in late August. If you need additional assistance, contact the Transportation Office, Monday through Friday, between the hours of 6:30 a.m. and 5 p.m.

To find your child's bus route, peruse the list below to find the stop closest to your house. The time noted under "first pickup" is when the bus will stop at the first location. It will then proceed to each street in the order listed.

Please write down your child’s bus route number (the number displayed in the window, not the number painted on the side of the bus itself) for easy access in case you need to communicate with the Transportation Department. Parents are also encouraged to find out the name of their child’s bus driver and write it down, since this too can facilitate clear communication. Learn more about the late bus runs
