  • Find a school bus route

  1. Eligibility and registration

    Students are eligible for the school bus if:

    • they live more than 3.2 kilometres by the nearest passable road from their school; and
    • they're attending their attendance area school.

    Registration for the 2023−24 school year is now open. 


  2. How to register for the school bus

    To register your child for 2023−24 you must: 

    1. Complete the Annual school bus registration form.
    2. Submit your form to the Student Transportation branch:
      Email: student.transportation@yukon.ca
      In person: 1000 Lewes Boulevard, Department of Education office
      Fax: 867-667-8243
    3. Submit 1 registration form for all children who live at the same home address.

    Rural buses

    Contact the school directly for busing options if you're a parent or guardian in a rural area.

    Riding to an alternative bus stop

    When you register your child, they're registered to take the school bus from your home to the school and back.

    Submit requests for your child to ride the school bus to a location other than your home address to student.transportation@yukon.ca.

    Make this request at the start of the school year if you can.

    We consider these requests based on:

    • the available space on the bus; and
    • existing bus routes

  3. City of Whitehorse Transit passes

    Whitehorse high school students can take the city bus instead of a school bus. Students who choose the city bus receive free Whitehorse Transit passes and are not eligible to ride a school bus.

    You must:

    1. Complete the public transit registration form.
    2. Submit your form to the Student Transportation Branch.
      Email: student.transportation@yukon.ca
      In person: 1000 Lewes Boulevard, Department of Education office
      Fax: 867-667-8243
    3. You'll receive a confirmation email with information.
    4. You must follow the Whitehorse Transit Passenger Code of Conduct when you take the bus.

    To replace a transit pass, contact the City of Whitehorse in person at 187 Range Road, email transit@whitehorse.ca or phone 867-668-8396.


  4. Find a school bus route

    Bus routes have been updated for 2023–24:

    • You must register for the school bus.
    • We continue to receive late school bus registrations which are being processed in the order they're received.
    • If you have registered late, you'll receive an email with your child's assigned bus route as soon as possible. If you have questions email student.transportation@yukon.ca or phone 867-667-5172. 
    • If you have made a special request, such as riding the bus somewhere other than your home address, these requests will be considered as soon as possible.
    • If you need to request a change to your existing route assignment, email student.transportation@yukon.ca or phone 867-667-5172. We continue to receive a high volume of emails and calls and are working to respond to you as soon as possible.
