Chignecto Central Regional Centre for Education

Each school day, Chignecto Central Regional Centre for Education's fleet of 200 buses transports over 20,000 students to and from schools across the region. In a given year, CCRCE buses travel more than 1,000,000 kilometres.

Each summer, we carefully plan out bus routes and schedules to reflect the changes that occur from new students starting/moving to a school or our older students who graduate from high school. It’s important to check your child’s school bus information in August because there could be changes to bus routes from year to year.

Please see below for helpful information about CCRCE busing, including eligibility, how to access BusPlanner, how to arrange transportation, and important updates.

How to Contact Transportation

Year-round (even in the summer), the CCRCE Student Transportation Team can answer your questions about school bus routes, stops and schedules. We are also available to discuss any concerns you may have about your child’s student transportation.
