Bus Delay Resources

When an FCPS school bus is delayed for between 10 and 30 minutes, a notification is posted online.  For delays longer than 30 minutes, an E-notify message is sent out by Transportation to families.  Parents/guardians are also encouraged to use the Here Comes the Bus app to track their student's bus.
