​​Students in the Calgary Board of Education travel to school in a variety of ways, including walking, taking yellow buses or Calgary Transit or being driven by parents/guardians. Their safety is important, no matter how they get to school and home again.​​​

Getting Students to School

You can register your child for specialized bus transportation online using your MyCBE or completing a transportation registration form.

Please visit the CBE Specialized Transportation page for details the 2025-2026 school year.​

For the 2025-2026 school year, there are no fees associated with CBE Specialized Transportation to Emily Follensbee School.

Bus Status

We are aware of the communication challenges the providers are having keeping route information up-to-date for families. At this time, all service provider staff are dedicated to driving buses and they are not always able to accommodate this service.​

Visit CBE Transportation​ for forms and more information.

Conditional Riders

Students who are not attending the designated school for their program, or who are not within the transportation service area, may be able to access existing service if there is a suitable stop on the existing bus route. Fees will not be waived for conditional riders.

Criteria for Conditional Riders

  • Must access an existing stop
  • Must be room on the bus
  • Must pay the transportation fee
  • No additional bus routes will be implemented to accommodate conditional riders
  • Must wait for written approval from Transportation Services before starting to ride the bus

Conditional riders are not permitted to ride the bus until it is determined there is space on the bus and riders have been approved by Transportation Services.

Alternate Addresses

For an additional fee, CBE Transportation allows families to add a second address to their transportation registration to support childcare arrangements and changing family schedules.

Note | Bus stops may only be added within the attendance area for the school and outside the walk zone. The information collected from families informs bus route planning but does not guarantee a stop at the exact location requested.

To participate in the program, you must:

  1. Register for transportation in MyCBE by the deadline and pay the assigned fee.
  2. Fill in the Request for Alternate Address form in MyCBE and provide one additional address and schedule for your child. Note: the form will only appear after you register.

CBE Transportation will review each request to determine if the request can be accommodated. Families will be notified of the decision within six weeks of application.

The cost of the alternate address stop, if approved, is $180,​ in addition to the basic transportation fee outlined above.
