Information for Weather Cancellations Occasionally Durham Student Transportation Services (DSTS) cancels school bus transportation due to weather conditions. Depending on the location and type of weather occurrence school bus transportation may be cancelled for a specific zone of Durham Region. DSTS encourages all families to visit www.dsts.on.ca/inclement-weather for full details on Inclement Weather and how it affects transportation for your area and school.

The cancellation of school bus service is a decision made in consultation with local service providers including bus operators, municipal staff and the school boards in the early morning. Once a decision has been made to cancel school bus service in the morning, all major media outlets are notified. If school buses are cancelled, it is for the entire day regardless of what happens to the weather during the day.

When transportation services are cancelled, schools may remain open. The decision to close schools rests with the Directors of Education at the respective school boards.
