Transportation @ Schenectady City Schools

The partnership between Capital District Transportation Authority and SCSD is going great! As the year progresses, we continue to make great strides in servicing our students and the community!

A huge shout out to @SCSD_Transpo 🚍 They get us to our games safely and timely.

We just wanted to take a minute to thank Brown Transportation, food staff and paras for assisting with delivering and handing out lunches to our SCSD students.

The Transportation Team wanted everyone to know that we are thinking about them and hope that you are all healthy and safe! We miss our students, parents, teachers, principals and coworkers. Hope to see you all soon.

This is why we do what we do!!! Schenectady Strong!

The Transportation Team is excited to be assisting our SCSD Families with food delivery beginning Friday, 3/20. I wanted to share that Brown Transport is the vendor that will deliver the food to our bus stops and that Durham Transport will be the vendor stationed at the schools.

SCSD partnering with bus vendors to help our families. Great job today! @SCSchools

All after school programs are cancelled, due to inclement weather. Please dress warm and drive safe. Have a great weekend.

Please take it slow out there. Roads may appear to be wet, but have an icy surface. One way to know if it frozen is to look for tire spray from the vehicle in front of you.

Please be cautious when following a school bus. Stay focused, keep a good following distance (recommendation is an 8 second distance) and be aware of students hidden by parked vehicles. To check following distance, select a stationary object, count until you reach that object.

When you stop for a school bus, you cannot drive again until the red lights stop flashing or when the bus driver or a traffic officer signals the you can proceed. This law applies on all roadways in New York State.

Safety Starts at the Bus Stop Your child should arrive at the bus stop at least ten minutes before the bus is scheduled. You should visit the bus stop and show your child where to wait for the bus: three giant steps away from the curb. The bus stop is not a place to run or play.

Your Transportation Team just wanted to reach out on our first Tweet and let everyone know how excited we are to be able to share daily information with you and keep you up to date on all things transportation!

Please follow @SCSD_Transpo for the 411 on regular updates, school bus safety tips and up-to-date bussing schedule changes.
