Norwich Bus Routes
Norwich Routes as of November 9, 2020
Oct 4th update:
Please be advised as of now, the Norwich routes and stops have not been adjusted. For all students riding from their home to anyone of our schools, the process that has been in place will not change. What will change effective Monday, October 5 is the students who walk to the Marion Cross School to hop aboard a bus to be transported over to the Hanover High School and Richmond Middle School. Starting tomorrow we are asking that walkers to the Marion Cross School take the special bus which will be picking up on the Gerard Way side of the school. The bus will be there by 7:20 am parked at the front of the normal bus lane and will leave promptly by 7:30 am. It will be clearly marked "Transfer Bus." Most all of the other buses loading on the Church Street side have been picking up at the same time, other than N5 who picks up later. We realize the transition may take a few days to become the new routine, so we will not stop students from boarding the other buses right away. It is important that we make these changes now as colder weather is coming soon and the reserved seats will start filling up.
All times listed are approximate and may vary by 5 minutes depending on ridership. Time may be adjusted after the first 2 weeks of school, stops removed and/or added and all changes will be updated and posted on the website. If you have questions or concerns, please contact Mike Gaudette at Student Transportation of America at (802)-698-8528 or via email at mgaudette@ridesta.com.
