Delays and Cancellations

The Renfrew County Joint Transportation Consortium (RCJTC) works closely with its contracted school transportation operators to identify any route-specific delays or cancellations throughout each school day. This webpage provides information on specific routes which are impacted by short-term cancellations and multi-day cancellations. For more information on how cancellation decisions are made, visit our Inclement Weather webpage. 

Delays and Cancellations

Short-term route cancellations may occur due to a variety of actors including driver illness, driver shortages, mechanical failures and inclement weather (i.e. "snow days"). For the most up-to-date information, access the RCJTC Parent Portal or download the BusPlanner Delays mobile application through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store
