Welcome to Village Christian Transportation. We look forward to providing transportation services this school year to VCS students. While our drivers are rigorously trained and meet all state and federal guidelines, our first concern is for your student’s safety and well-being.
VCS continues to "gift" all NEW students their first year of transportation for free.
Should you have any questions, please contact:

Walking To/From the Bus
State law requires that all students in 8th grade and below must be escorted across the roadway using the flashing red lights, however, many schools, including Heritage Christian Schools escort all students regardless of age or grade.
- When directed, students will follow the bus driver out of the bus and wait at the front corner of the bus on the curb.
- The driver will continue into the street with a handheld stop sign.
- When directed by the bus driver, students will walk straight across the street between the driver and the bus.
- Students should look both ways before passing the edge of the bus.
- Once students have crossed the roadway they may not return to the bus.
- Parents needing to cross should cross with their student. State law requires students to be escorted by the bus driver even if a parent is present.
- Parents driving to the bus stop should park their vehicle on the same side of the street at the bus stop.
- Students crossing at traffic lights will not be escorted.
- Leave your home early enough that you will arrive to your bus stop at least 5 minutes prior to your scheduled pick-up time.
- Look both ways before crossing any street.
- If you are across the street from the bus stop and the bus has arrived, wait for the bus driver to help you safely cross the street.
- Do not run across the street.
- Obey all traffic signals and use marked crosswalks.
