Edmonton Transit Service (ETS)

Edmonton Transit Service (ETS) is the preferred means of transportation for Division students. We work closely with ETS to ensure all students have access to close and reliable transit routes.

For more information on ETS route and schedule information, contact ETS.

BUS NETWORK REDESIGN

Starting on April 25, 2021, Edmonton Transit Services (ETS) routes and school specials will change under the Bus Network Redesign.

When the Bus Network Redesign gets underway:

many schools will be serviced by regular ETS routes
bus stops in communities will look different
all school special routes will use a route number in the 600s so they are unique from regular routes
some routes/communities will move to on-demand transit services

Students and families are encouraged to check out the interactive map on the ETS website to see how their route may be impacted and to start planning ahead for the changes in April 2021.

More information and FAQs about school specials are available on the Bus Network Redesign website. Edmonton Public Schools will share more information about these changes in spring 2021.
