Important Information Regarding Bus Stop Changes

Bus Stop Changes

Oceanside has been seeing many positive changes; new hotels, resorts and restaurants are opening up regularly. Oceanside is now a popular vacation destination, and along with this change is the automobile traffic. This summer, the transportation department team worked collaboratively with the city of Oceanside, some mobile home property management organizations and local authorities to improve the safety of many of our routed bus stops. Once where there was slow or no vehicular traffic, streets that have access points to HWY 76 and I-5 are now busy and drivers often exceed the speed limits to make the lights at intersections. 

Student safety is a priority both on and off the school buses. California vehicle code 22454 (a) prohibits a driver from passing a school bus when the bus is stopped for the purpose of loading or unloading school children and when the red signals are flashing. A driver who violates the vehicle code 22454 (a) must pay a fine of up to $695.00 and could get a "negligent operator license suspension", and receive points on their license that can affect their insurance premiums.

Starting August 17, 2022, these bus drivers will be picking and dropping students at the new locations. Please review the list below to see if your bus stop has been changed.
