NEW TRANSPORTATION PHONE NUMBER: 557-4BUS (4287)

In an effort to streamline calls and provide a timely response regarding transportation issues, Unit 5 has implemented a Transportation Call Center.

The Call Center was created to centralize calls to the transportation department and to route them to the appropriate individuals to handle each specific concern.

The hours of the Call Center will be Monday – Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Calls that are made before 6:30 a.m., after 4:30 p.m. or on weekends may be left in a voicemail box that will be checked at 6:30 a.m. the next work day.

The goal is to provide a timely response to each inquiry or concern and to be sure that a resolution has been reached.
