RCDSB and RCCDSB recognize that, in spite of the collaborative work between RCJTC and bus operators, some families may be impacted by driver shortages throughout the school year.
A transportation subsidy, similar to the subsidy offered last year, will be offered to parents/caregivers when the bus service is unavailable for a period of at least ten consecutive days using the RCJTC transportation software distances in the table below.
