TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT

The Hollister School District Transportation Department is committed to providing safe, reliable, and efficient transportation for all students. Our team takes pride in maintaining a fleet of buses and campus vehicles that exceeds state standards for safety and dependability. Our fleet consistently earns an at or near 100% safety inspection rating from the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

To further ensure student safety, all Hollister school buses are equipped with interior cameras, backup cameras, GPS routing software, and digital radios. In addition, our transportation staff carefully designs bus routes to eliminate the need for students to cross the street when boarding or exiting the bus.

  • Parents, it’s important to talk to your child, or children, about bus stop safety. Here are some tips.     A row of yellow school buses parked under a clear blue sky.

    Before the Bus Arrives

    Your child should arrive at the bus stop at least five minutes before the bus arrives. Ahead of the new school year, visit the bus stop and show your child where to wait for the bus, at least ten feet — five giant steps — away from the curb. Remind your child that the bus stop is not a place to run or play.

    Getting On and Off Safely

    When the school bus arrives, your child should wait until the bus comes to a complete stop, the door opens, and the driver says it’s okay to get on or off. Your child should use the handrails to avoid falling. 

    Always Use Caution Around the Bus 

    Your child should never walk behind a school bus. If your child must cross the street in front of the bus, tell them to walk on a sidewalk or along the side of the street to a place at least ten feet — five giant steps — in front of the bus before crossing. Your child should also make eye contact with the bus driver before crossing to make sure the driver can see that they’re crossing to avoid the danger zone. If your child drops something near the school bus, like a phone or book, the safest thing is for your child to tell the bus driver right away. Your child should not try to pick up the item, because the driver might not be able to see them.
