History and Mission



The Sudbury Student Services was formed on January 17, 2001 as a partnership of the four coterminous school boards in the Sudbury area to deliver common services beginning with student transportation.

The Rainbow District School Board,

Le Conseil Scolaire catholique du Nouvel-Ontario,

The Sudbury Catholic District School Board, and

Le Conseil Scolaire public du Grand Nord de l'Ontario

In July 2009, the four partner boards establishes the Consortium as a separate legal entity through incorporation to further formalize its entity status.

The Sudbury Student Services Consortium also provides transportation services for Huron Superior Catholic District School Board as well as five area First Nations.

The Sudbury Student Services Consortium is governed by a board of directors consisting of the Chief Financial Officer of each of the member school boards.

The Sudbury Student Services Consortium currently transports over 20,000 students on 397 buses daily at a cost of over $28,000,000 per year. Continuous optimization exercises have resulted in a transportation system that is one of the most efficient in the Province of Ontario.

In addition, the Consortium has implemented one of the most extensive school bus safety programs in Ontario. This program includes interactive rider safety training programs for all pupils in grades K to 8 in all elementary schools served.

We are also monitoring service levels and measuring them against a number of key service indicators in order to ensure that service is maintained at a high level.

Bilingual staff is available to take telephone calls at 521-1234 from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. (Hours are subject to change during school holidays, PD days and during the summer.)
