Details
- Accountability for each rider will be managed by a Daily Log similar to the one used by regular Bus drivers. The Driver will not leave the drop off/pick up location until they see an adult who is responsible for the child.
- A parent of each rider will fill out a registration form that will contain information such as, home address and where the child will be dropped off, as well as parent contact information (cell number and email) and a current photo of each child for ID purposes.
- Pick-up and drop-off schedule will be based on enrollment in the program.
- NEW this year-There will be a $20.00 administration fee charged to the account in the event that Minnesota River Valley Transit staff needs to call regarding a delinquent payment on your account-No negative balances will be allowed.
- If your child’s account should become delinquent, Minnesota River Valley Transit will suspend service for your child until the account contains a positive balance.
Registration
Registrations made or received during the calendar week preceding the start of preschool may not receive service during the first week of school. This is necessary so that schedules can be set and provided to parents without last minute changes.
