Transportation Registration & Info

What You Need to Know Before Registering!

CRPS provides student transportation services to students attending schools in Banff and Canmore. 

If your child is already registered for a previous school year they do not have to be re-registered for any subsequent year, as all students registered are carried over to each new year.

If you move, please fill out a new online registration.

All Families

• Your child needs to be registered to ride the school bus to and from school. For first-time registrations, complete the “School Bus Registration 2024-25” form when filling out your school registration form through School Engage. 
• Your child must have a bus pass to ride the bus! During the first weeks of school it can take up to five (5) days to process a school bus registration.
• Special needs routes are not published as they are child specific. Please call 403.678.5545 to check on the pick/drop times for your child. 
• The winter months can bring bus disruptions- Please make sure you check the bus status before sending your child to the bus stop.  If buses are cancelled in the morning they will be cancelled in the afternoon.  Please make sure your child is dressed for the weather incase of a mechanical breakdown or other unforeseen circumstances.
• More information can be found on the CRPS Transportation Information document.

Kindergarten Families

• CRPS operates a First Ride Program for first-time riders, called Little Rockies Bus Adventure - details are provided below. 
• The first day of kindergarten is staggered over the first week of school. Buses DO NOT run on staggered entry days. You will be required to drop off and pick up your child on their first day.
