Transportation

The Spring Lake Public Schools Transportation Department has provided these pages to acquaint you with information about our transportation services as well as our district guidelines and procedures related to bus routes and bus stops.

 

Our mission is to provide the safest and most efficient means of transporting your students to and from school.

 

We have a staff of 21 professionally trained and certified school bus drivers who use the utmost care bringing your students to and from school each day.   Our full time professional mechanic maintains our fleet with a commitment to safety and reliability.  Our administrative and office staff, consisting of the Transportation Director and part time Transportation Coordinator, strives to provide prompt and courteous services to all students with integrity and efficiency. 

 

Did you know that the yellow bus is 27 times safer as a mode of transportation to and from school than an automobile?  The average ride on a school bus is approximately 19 miles long.   This means that your student, over a 13-year period, may travel up to 47,320 miles (twice around the world) or 2,839 hours (354 eight hour work days) on a school bus!
