Transportation Registration and Fees
Registration & Fees
School District No. 67 (Okanagan Skaha)'s Transportation Department currently operates 13 school bus routes providing transportation service to students in Penticton, Summerland, Naramata, and Kaleden.
Changing student demographics requires the Transportation Department to review bus routes each year and make adjustments where necessary.
School bus routes are designed first to service eligible students attending their catchment school whose applications are received on or before the registration deadline.
