Consolidated Bus Stop Information 2009-2010
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools Transportation
What is a Consolidated Bus Stop?
• A consolidated bus stop is a centralized stop that is designed to reduce ride time to and from school.
• If several consolidated stop locations are requested transportation may be able to create a bus run just for the consolidated stops.
Who is eligible to use a consolidated stop?
• Every school that is provided transportation can use a consolidated stop within their attendance boundary or transportation zone, with the exception of the 4 full magnet high schools.
• The 4 full magnet high schools are not eligible for consolidated stops.
• The 7 full magnet middle schools are only eligible to create shuttle stops with in the 5 mile radius.
Where Do I Begin?
• Schools should request a list of the projected students that will be enrolled for the 2010-11 school year.
• Select one or more parent volunteers to assist in advocating the consolidated stop process.
• There must be at least 7 or more students from families interested in a consolidated stop. If the number of students drops below 7, transportation reserves the right to remove the consolidated stop.
Consolidated Stop Criteria for New Locations
• Permission from the owner of the establishment or stop location must be obtained. (if private property)
• Parking location cannot be congested during the hours of
7 - 9am and 3 – 5 pm. • Adequate parking for parents with a minimum of 10-15
parking spaces must be available.• Must be able to accommodate a vehicle the size of a
school bus.• Must be accessible from a main road or a main
neighborhood street.
What is the Process?• Principals, AP’s or parent advocates should poll for
interested families.• If a child is currently assigned to a consolidated stop,
they must sign up each year. It is not carried over from year to year.
• DO NOT have parents go on line to request an “ Alternate Stop Request” for a consolidated stop. Follow the process.
• Once school has started for the 2010-11 school year, parents may go on line to request an “alternate stop” for an existing consolidated stop.
• No new consolidated stops requested after the June 18th deadline.
• Only students that are “eligible” for transportation will be assigned to a consolidated stop.
• Students will be assigned a stop morning, afternoon, or both whichever is indicated by the parent.
• The student’s residence stop will be eliminated.
• If a parent desires to return to their residence stop or requires an alternate stop location, a Transportation Service Request form must be submitted on line at www.cms.k12.nc.us using the Transportation Services Request form link.
