Starting Monday, August 31, Jasper Transit’s School Special route will begin service for the 2026–27 school year.
The School Special is timed around school start and dismissal times, but it is part of Jasper Transit’s regular public service and is open to everyone.
Here’s what riders need to know:
▪️Regular Jasper Transit buses will operate the route.
▪️A Bus Monitor will be on board on school days to help support a safe and comfortable ride.
▪️The route will operate Monday to Friday, regardless of whether school is in session, to provide a consistent weekday schedule.
▪️Students who are eligible for school transportation under provincial guidelines will receive an Annual Student Bus Pass through their school at the beginning of the school year.
▪️Students who are not eligible for school transportation, and other members of the public, can ride by paying a regular Jasper Transit Local fare.
▪️Children 12 and under ride Jasper Transit for free.
The School Special will initially use Jasper Transit’s largest bus, which has capacity for 44 passengers. Ridership will be monitored as the school year gets underway.
