Snow Routes
Each year the Transportation Department at Springfield Public Schools reviews all district bus routes and creates snow routes. Snow routes generally avoid the higher elevations and roads that are traditionally unsafe to travel during snow or freezing weather events.
The design for snow routes also takes into account the Priority Sanding/De-icing map from the City of Springfield, Lane County Public Works and the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT).
For students traveling on special needs buses, the driver will work directly with the parents to establish a safe location for the student pick-up and drop-off site as close as possible to the parents' home.
