Proudly serving 593 square miles of Amador County, covering over half a million miles of road per year.

Route Delays and Notifications

If we are short on drivers, a route may run late or be combined with another route. This may result in minor delays, but our goal is to continue providing transportation whenever possible rather than canceling service.

Families will be notified of delays, route combinations, or schedule changes through the EZ Arrival App.

Please make sure you have:

  • Downloaded the EZ Arrival App
  • Provided the Transportation Department with the information needed to connect your student to the correct route
  • Reviewed the attached route schedule for current pick-up and drop-off times

If route times are updated or changed, you will receive a notification through the app.

For help connecting your student to the EZ Arrival App, please contact the Transportation Department.
