Student Transportation Services of Central Ontario provides transportation to students from a large geographical area and three school boards.
When severe weather occurs the STSCO website often goes offline and leaves parents and guardians guessing as to whether their school bus is cancelled, on time or late. Often the website does not come back online until children have already left for their stop or have already arrived at school. STSCO does have a Twitter and Facebook account but these are not monitored and only give general announcements. It should be noted that signing up for email notifications will not help parents when STSCO's website crashes. The STSCO website has been an issue not only for the 2016/2017 school year but in previous years as well.
It is unacceptable to not provide school bus cancellations and delays in a timely and consistent way to the families that rely on STSCO's bus service.
We, the parents, guardians, and taxpayers ask STSCO and our school boards of KPRDSB (Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board), PVNCCDSB (Peterborough Victoria Northumberland Clarington Catholic District School Board), and CSDCCS (Conseil Scolaire de District Catholique Centre-Sud) to improve our school bus notifications and communications.

Every time it snows the site goes down. How are we supposed to know if the bus is coming or not? Sort it out.
So frustrating standing out in the cold waiting for a bus that may or may not be cancelled.

Should be a priority.
The website is a disgrace.
We need change
Parents rely on this site! This needs to be fixed.

Ridiculous that this keeps happening year after year. Invest in a better server.
