Transportation

The Transportation Department currently transports approximately 6,500 students to over 85 schools with approximately 55 buses and 20 vans housed at our Transportation Department in  Blue Bell. The District contracts with First Student for most of our bus routes. The Transportation Department is continually striving to uphold the high standards of safety and efficiency.

Please take a moment to review the Wissahickon School District School Bus Guidelines.

• Please drive safely and obey the Pennsylvania School Bus Stopping Laws. We want to insure the safety of all our students! View Overview of PA Bus Stopping Laws
• Please note that afternoon drop-off times may vary due to traffic, weather, ridership, and other circumstances.
• PA State law requires that School Bus Evacuation Drills to be held twice a year to educate students in the event of an actual emergency. We hold ours at the beginning of the school year and in the March and they are performed on school grounds. 
• In the event of a two-hour delay, please have your student at their stop two (2) hours later than their normal schedule.
