Update student transportation information for 2025-26 

With the new school year approaching, it’s important that families confirm and update their student’s transportation information in ParentVUE. Accurate transportation details help ensure a smooth start to the year and allow bus routes to be planned efficiently.

What families need to do

  • Log in to ParentVUE

  • Click on your student’s name.

  • Click on “Student Info”

  • Confirm your home address

  • Add or update any alternative addresses (e.g., a second parent’s home or childcare location)

  • Select your student’s primary method of transportation (bus, car, walker, etc.)

See detailed information and instructions for updating information.

To help ensure your child’s bus route is correct on the first day of school, please update transportation preferences by August 1.

Bus numbers will be shared with families before the first day of school.

Find your Bus Stop and Get Bus Information in Real Time

Find your Bus Stop and Get Bus Information in Real Time with Versatrans e-Link and the My Stop App

Versatrans e-Link is your connection to student transportation schedules. To protect the privacy of our students- and families, this information is not published anywhere else. 

Step 1: create a VersaTrans account using your student's student ID number (which can be found in ParentVue). We have an instructional video if that is helpful.

Step 2: The Versatrans My Stop app uses your VersaTrans credentials to track your student's school bus in real time. You can track the bus location, route details, estimated arrival time, and receive delay notifications. Download the Versatrans My Stop app from the App Store (for iOS devices) or Google Play Store (for Android devices). There are several My Stop apps, so be sure to select “Versatrans My Stop.”

*Routes and stops are subject to change at any time. Check your bus information daily the first few weeks of school.

Express cards

Express cards (or radio frequency identification cards) add an extra level of safety for the youngest students as they board and disembark school buses.

  • Cards have been issued to PK-5 students to be used throughout their school years in Chesterfield County Public Schools. Students should bring their cards to school every day; they may be used on the bus, in the school library and in the school cafeteria.

  • Students place the card against a sensor as they board and disembark. The tablet will make a happy sound if the student is boarding/disembarking at the correct locations.

  • Parents can use My Stop to follow the bus the student rides, and the points at which the student enters and leaves the bus are recorded.

  • The cards do not track students. The cards only associate students to the bus they are riding so parents know where their students are and drivers know which stops are the correct stops.

School Bus Transportation Guidelines and Safety Information

  • School bus transportation is available to most students attending county schools in accordance with School Board policy 7160. The policy is available on oneccps.org under the School Board tab in the policies section.

  • Families are asked to keep up-to-date student transportation information by logging into ParentVUE and checking your home address and any alternative addresses. For a link to ParentVUE and more details, go to oneccps.org/parentvue-studentvue.

  • Prekindergarten, kindergarten or early childhood special education students may sit with an older sibling at the front of the bus.

  • Bus stops are placed in the safest location possible with a maximum walking distance of 0.3 miles for students in prekindergarten through grade 5 and 0.5 miles for students in grades 6-12 when possible during the school year; distances may be greater during summer school.

  • Bus stop information is available to parents via e-Link by using a student’s ID to sign in. Routes and stops are subject to change at any time.

  • Students must be at their assigned bus stop five minutes before their bus is due to arrive. School buses will not wait for students.

  • Bus transportation is a privilege, and students riding school buses are required to obey all rules and regulations established by the school and driver. All buses are equipped with surveillance cameras to assist in safe transportation. Parents are encouraged to remind their children to respect the property of the school division and neighbors living near a bus stop. Inappropriate conduct while riding a school bus may result in denial of this privilege. The school principal and Transportation Department make disciplinary decisions about school bus transportation.

The transportation system in Chesterfield County Public Schools is the largest in central Virginia,
daily carrying 55,000+ students along 2,500+ routes covering 26,000 miles.

Bus Safety

Remember that buses are considered an extension of the classroom, and it is important that students follow the rules for the safety of everyone on the bus. Watch #oneCCPS students demonstrate tips on bus behavior.
