Conditional Riders

Conditional riders are students who are not eligible for school bus transportation because they live inside the walk zone OR have a different walk zone than a younger sibling at the same school OR are not attending their designated school.

  • Application forms will be available after June 22.
  • Applications are approved by CBE Transportation on a first-come first-served basis depending on space and availability.
  • You will be informed by CBE Transportation once a decision is made regarding the conditional rider request. This may take up to 6 weeks after the start of the school year.

Alternate Address Requests

Families can request an alternate address to their transportation registration to access an alternate bus stop and/or route. This provides flexibility to access bus stops and routes to support childcare arrangements and changing family schedules.  

You must register and complete the Request for Alternate Address form in MyCBE by June 22, 2025. The additional cost to add an alternate address is $180. Learn more about this option on the CBE Transportation website.
