Inclement Weather Policy

In the event of inclement weather, the Department of Transportation Services has outlined the following procedures:

  • If the School District of Philadelphia public schools are closed, transportation to and from all schools (public, non-public, and charter schools) will not be provided by the District or its vendors.
  • In the event of a two-hour delay for District public schools, all buses for all schools (public, non-public, and charter schools) will run on a two-hour delay.  For example, if there is a two hour delay and your student’s pick up time is 7:15 am, the delayed pick up time would be 9:15 am.
  • In the event of an early dismissal for the School District, all buses will run on an early dismissal schedule.
  • If you would like to check the status of your bus, please check our bus status page.
  • You can call the District’s hotline at 215-400-INFO, or visit the District’s website (www.philasd.org).
