VICENZA, Italy -- Student transportation to and from school is managed by a centralized Vicenza schools transportation office. Contracted school buses pick up and drop off students according to stop information provided on student bus passes. Every registered rider must display their bus pass to the safety attendant prior to boarding the bus.
The school commuting area is defined as a specific geographic area, used to determine eligibility for transporting students to a Department of Defense-operated school. School bus services are provided to all authorized students residing within the designated commuting area. Maps are available at the Housing office and the transportation office located at the Villaggio school complex.
If family housing is obtained outside of the commuting area, transportation of dependent students to the school or to existing school bus stops within the commuting area is the sponsor's responsibility.
Please note: The commuting zone has several areas where school buses may not travel due to road restriction, narrow roads, railroad crossings and dead ends.
School bus transportation is a privilege that may be suspended or revoked. Department of Defense Education Activity will strictly enforce school bus rules. Students failing to comply with the rules may find their bus-riding privileges suspended or revoked up to the rest of the school year. When this happens, sponsors/parents/guardians assume all responsibility for transporting their student to and from school.
