Transportation

The transportation system in Chesterfield County Public Schools is the largest in central Virginia.

Each day

  • We transport more than 55,000 students
  • Our buses travel about 26,000 miles  
  • Buses cover more than 2,500 routes

The transportation department works to safely transport students to and from school each day.  

When possible, bus stops are established to ensure that no elementary student must walk farther than about 0.3 miles and that middle school and high school students walk no farther than approximately 0.5 of a mile to the bus stop location.

Students must board and leave the bus at their assigned bus stop. Students should arrive at least five minutes before the time listed and 10 minutes earlier during the first week of school. 

The transportation department reserves the right to revise or change bus stops. All students who are affected by any changes will be notified in writing.

Bus Safety

Remember that buses are considered an extension of the classroom, and it is important that students follow the rules for the safety of everyone on the bus. Watch #oneCCPS students demonstrate tips on bus behavior. For a more complete list of rules, click on Bus Safety Expectations.

Students in private placement, students who live in another locality, students who attend school outside of Chesterfield County

When weather affects school hours, here is the transportation plan for students in private school placement and students who live in a different locality or attend any school outside of Chesterfield County: 

  • If your child attends a private school located in Chesterfield County, then your child’s transportation will follow what Chesterfield County Public Schools does. For example, if Chesterfield County Public Schools opens two hours late, then your child’s transportation will arrive two hours later than usual. If Chesterfield County Public Schools is closed, then your child will not be transported to school.

  • If your child lives outside Chesterfield County or attends any school located outside Chesterfield County, then transportation will follow the most restrictive schedule. Here’s an example: If Chesterfield County Public Schools opens two hours late but your student lives in or attends a school in Henrico County and Henrico County Public Schools is closed, then your child will not be transported to school. Here’s another example: If Chesterfield County Public Schools is closed but Henrico County Public Schools opens two hours late and your child’ lives in or attends school in Henrico County, then your child will not be transported to school.
