September 20, 2021 Update
We appreciate your patience as Southland Transportation looks to improve its services. Southland Transportation is in the process of adding routes and drivers, so we hope our buses will be on time for drop off and pick up in a few weeks.
Also, just another friendly reminder that you must register by the end of the month if you are a fee-paying student (living less than 2.4 km away and are eligible to access bussing). Southland Transportation will be finalizing routes based on the end-of-month registrations. For example, if you plan to access bussing once it is cold and register after the end-of-month, Southland Transportation will not change the established bus routes. Users will be required to follow the regular bus routes. Please register for bussing if you plan to access bussing at any point in this school year.

FLVT Bussing Information (Fee-Paying Students)
Please read this important information regarding transportation registration for fee-paying students. It is essential for families that are paying for bussing to register as soon as possible. Southland Transportation is currently building bus routes based on the students that have registered for bussing.
This is just a reminder to let us know if your child will be accessing transportation under the “Eligible -Fee-Paying” category for the 2021/2022 school year. All eligible riders must register, and only registered riders will be permitted to ride the school bus. In September, schools will be assigning transportation fees to approved riders using our SchoolCash Online program after finalized registrations and routes.
For more information, see the “Transportation Update – 2021/2022” or visit our website https://www.holyspirit.ab.ca/schools/transportation/lethbridge_schools_transportation.

Hello, Wondering if there is any update about the bussing pick up and drop off issues. We are on W4 route and the bus has been late both directions each day. I was wondering if this is being addressed. It is sometimes more than 20 minutes late and I’m concerned for when the bad weather arrives. Thanks, Shannon
Hi Shannon, our bus coordinator is working with Southland Bussing to work on all the various routes. We hope they improve soon.
