DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION SERVICES MISSION

In assisting our Superintendent, Lori Villanueva, the CHUSD Department of Transportation employees are driven to provide CHUSD students with the highest degree of safety while riding our school buses.

We provide service with the utmost care and diligence while upholding the standards of the Coalinga-Huron Unified School District; the Transportation Codes of the California Department of Education, California Traffic laws enforced by the California Highway Patrol, the rugged requirements of the CA Department of Motor Vehicles as well as abide by the United States Department of Transportation rules and regulations.

TRANSPORTATION / BUS INFORMATION

CHUSD Transportation Department’s supporting role in the school district is to provide safe, comfortable, reliable and timely student transportation to qualified students.  The school bus driver's foremost goal is to implement and maintain an environment in which students, staff and parents feel safe and secure.

Fulfilling this mission includes:

  • Ensuring an effective, efficient and safe transportation program for all eligible riders.

  • Providing seamless service with the utmost care and diligence while upholding the highest standards of the Coalinga-Huron Unified School District.

  • Taking pride in being an integral part of the academic success of CHUSD students, and endeavor to provide a warm welcome in the morning, and a supportive send-off in the afternoon.

  • Affording staff and students safe, clean, reliable transportation.

  • Maintaining the district fleet and buses to the highest standard of safety.

  • Ensuring CHUSD drivers are highly trained and certified.

  • Maintaining required safety and maintenance records for both drivers, school buses and white fleet.

  • Inspecting charter buses according to California Law.

  • Hosting annual evacuation bus drills on all route buses.

     

CHUSD DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION BUS RULES

Please note: Students transported by CHUSD Transportation Department are under the authority of the school bus driver and the Coalinga-Huron Unified School District policies while aboard the school bus.

Buses have cameras to record both video and audio.  School administration will review tapes if a concern arises.  Violating bus rules may result in short- or long-term suspension from riding the bus, and families will need to arrange their own transportation for their student. To promote safety and well-being, students are expected to follow all bus rules while riding.

BUS RIDER TIPS:

  • The times listed for routes are estimated times, times could change due to traffic, weather, etc.

  • Students should be out at their stop five minutes before the scheduled time of bus arrival

  • Because of the variables on each route, there is always a five-minute buffer, before and after the scheduled time, as no bus can be exact every day
