What families need to know about Floris Kiss & Ride
General guidelines for entering the Kiss & Ride loop safely and respectfully:
- Vehicles entering from Centreville Rd. entrance should remain to the RIGHT of the main entrance.
- Buses and staff will enter to the left.
- The bus loop is designated only for buses and staff during arrival and dismissal times.
- At the stop light, vehicles coming north on Centreville RD (U-TURN), south on Centreville RD (STRAIGHT), and LEFT off of West Ox are expected to JOIN THE CAR LINE ON WEST OX RD once the Kiss & Ride loop and entrance become full (see the map below).
- Cutting in the car line presents safety risks to our families and travelers along Centreville Rd.
- While in the West Ox car line, DO NOT block the Fairfax Fire Department driveway.
General guidelines for dropping off and picking up students safely and respectfully:
-
Never pass another vehicle in the Kiss & Ride loop (unless directed to do so by a staff member)
- Drop-offs and pick-ups will occur within a designated “ZONE” (about 8 car lengths long)
- Students enter and exit from the passenger side of the vehicle
- Students should enter and exit the vehicle as quickly and safely as possible
- A line of cones will be present to designate a “buffer zone” between vehicles and the sidewalk (3 feet from curb).
- Please do not position your vehicle in the zone.
-
Adults should remain in their vehicle
-
Parking is not permitted within the Kiss & Ride lane of travel
- To be considerate of others, always move your vehicle forward when directed to do so by a staff member.
- Seek resolution to concerns by involving the adult staff members at an appropriate time.
