Welcome to Autumn! 🎃🍂
This October, our team will be transitioning to Trip Master, software that will improve our dispatching and scheduling capabilities. As we make this shift, you may be asked for clarifications on spelling, mobility status, home address, and contact information.
REMINDER: If you need a deviation from our fixed route, please contact dispatch in advance to arrange your ride. Drivers will no longer be able to accommodate deviation requests on the spot.
Riders can, of course, continue to ride between fixed route stops without prior arrangements.
New Deviation Riders:
Please remember that riders who are new to our curb-to-curb service still need to contact us at least 48 hours prior to their planned trip. We need this time to conduct site evaluations and make sure our buses can reach their residence and/or destination in a safe and timely manner.
We understand change can take some time to get used to, so let’s all be patient with one another as we adapt to this new system. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to our office at: (360) 629-7403 Ext. 101. We're here to help!

As a rule of thumb: If the Stanwood-Camano School District schools are closed, we are closed!
However, please note that we may feel the need to cancel or modify bus routes because of unsafe road conditions even if Stanwood schools are open. The best way to stay informed about cancellations and route changes is to check our website and social media:
If you are scheduled to ride the bus on a day that we decide to close due to road conditions or other factors, we will do our best to contact you and reschedule.
