We here in the transportation department ask that if your “bus rider” is not going to be on the bus, please give us a call at 423-2374 and let us know. If you get the main menu asking for an extension, push 1405. We also ask that if your “bus rider” has been off and will start riding again, please call us about that as well. The bus will not stop if you do not call.
Recently we have mailed out blank emergency informational forms to adults riding our busses. Some of you may have recently filled similar forms out, but so many of our forms need updating we sent them to everyone. Please accept our apologies for the duplication, but we really need these forms done as they are required by state law.
We have recently received a new bus and it is already on route. Did you know that statistically speaking, school busses are the safest vehicle on the road? Our drivers are trained by the Ohio Department of Education and are required to attend in-service training annually.
For bussing information or changes, contact the Transportation Department three days prior to effective date.

All vehicles are maintained on-grounds by a qualified mechanic and must pass annual inspections administered by the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
The Transportation Department operates ten routes on a daily basis, covering every corner of Hancock County , bringing individuals to Blanchard Valley Industries and Blanchard Valley School .
Transportation is also provided to many special outings such as Special Olympics events, field trips, and other activities in the community.
