Administrative Regulation 6095 – Student Transportation, section 5, states:

5 (1) The parent or guardian of a student or the independent student receiving subsidized transportation must provide for the supervision and transportation of the student to and from the bus stop on the bus route for eligible students.
5 (2) If a student does not receive subsidized transportation, the parent/guardian of the student or the independent student must provide for the supervision and transportation of the student to and from school.

Eligibility for Subsidized Transportation

The Calgary Board of Education will provide subsidized transportation in accordance with AR6095 for students who attend their attendance area school or directed school, and who live within the transportation service area. The transportation service area means the designated zone within an attendance area in which the Calgary Board of Education provides subsidized transportation.

All students receiving charter bus service will be required to pay any applicable annual transportation fee. The fee is an annual fee that may be paid in monthly instalments by submitting up to 10 post-dated cheques. Parents of eligible students experiencing financial difficulties may apply for a waiver of the transportation fee(s). All transportation forms and the waiver application form are available on the CBE website at www.cbe.ab.ca/parents/forms.asp
