SUBJECT:
Alternate Field/Activity Trip Options for Schools
The Department of Transportation’s Field/Activity Trips Office is committed to doing its best to accommodate all of the district’s field/activity trip requests. However, there are times throughout the school year, particularly during spring sports season, when the demand for field/activity trips is greater than the supply of bus drivers and school buses. When this happens, schools have alternate options from local charter bus companies to accommodate field/activity trips.
The following local charter bus companies may be able to assist you with your field/activity trips needs when the Field/Activity Trips Office is unable to do so.
RedStar Transportation – https://redstartransportation.com/
Contact: Cate Murphy at cate@redstartransportation.com or 801-685-8560
Right Way Bus Lines – https://www.rightwaybus.com/
Contact: Tea Hafford at office@rightwaybus.com or 385-504-1443
Please keep in mind Jordan School District Transportation’s priorities. The first priority is school routes, the second priority is Utah High School Activities Association (UHSAA) related trips, and the third priority is all other field/activity trips.
Feel free to contact the Field/Activity Trips Office with any questions you may have.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
