Transportation

To be eligible, the student must reside in the zone predetermined by the Riverside school board.

Transport information for the 2024-2025 school year will be available on Mozaïk portal from August 21, 2024. If the type indicated is “PUBLIC TRANSPORT”, this means that your child will be transported with an RTL bus.

Instructions for connecting to Mozaïk parents.

It is essential that you inform the school of any change of address for your child, as transportation is planned based on information provided by parents.

Riverside school board offers eligible students a school restricted permit allowing them to use the RTL public transportation service from Monday to Friday, from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. from August 29, 2024, to June 30, 2025, excluding the holiday period – Spring break and public holidays. There are no fees for parents for this educational qualification.

OPUS cards and transport school tickets for students eligible for the school pass with restriction will be produced massively by the RTL during the summer period. To do this, Riverside School Board will send the RTL the required information concerning eligible students according to the data appearing in their file dated June 17, 2024. During the month of August, the school will receive the OPUS cards thus produced and will ensure distribution to students during the first days of school.

IMPORTANT: the $15 fee linked to the issuance of the OPUS card will be invoiced to parents by Riverside school board via the 2024-2025 school supply invoice, unless they have notified us of their withdrawal or if the students do not recover their OPUS card at school.

A student who finds himself in one of the following situations must go to the Longueuil terminal ticket counter to obtain his OPUS card and his school transport pass with restriction:

– The student for whom the RTL was unable to produce the OPUS card during the summer period (the parents of the students concerned will be notified by email).
– The student who registered at school after June 17, 2024.

Before going to the ticket counter, the student must make an appointment on the RTL reservation platform by clicking here.

During their appointment, the student must ensure that they have in their possession the RTL eligibility certificate provided by the school and follow the RTL directives regarding the issuance of the OPUS card at a reduced rate for students. In particular, students who do not have an OPUS card must also present the duly completed Reduced Rate OPUS Card Form. The cost of the OPUS card is set at $15 at the ticket counter.

All the details relating to obtaining the OPUS card are available in the Student Zone section of the RTL website by clicking on this link. Students who already hold an OPUS card on which other unused transport tickets are encoded can also go to the ticket office, making an appointment, in order to have the remaining tickets transferred to their new OPUS card.

Students eligible for an RTL school pass with restrictions also have the possibility of obtaining an RTL school pass WITHOUT restrictions allowing them access at any time to the RTL public transportation service upon payment of an amount of $202, valid from August 29 to June 30, 2025. This amount is payable upon issue of the title regardless of its date of issue. This title is only offered at the ticket counter to holders of an RTL school certificate which will be given to the student at the start of the school year and who already have an RTL school pass with restriction on their OPUS card.

Before going to the ticket counter, the student must make an appointment using the RTL reservation platform by clicking here.

The parent who wishes to withdraw from the public transportation service must complete the withdrawal form no later than September 6, 2024. Otherwise, the $15 fee related to the issuance of the OPUS card will automatically be invoiced to the parent. If the student has already received the OPUS card at the time of withdrawal, he or she must return it to the school. The parent who withdraws will then be responsible for providing transportation for their child to and from school. No other school transportation service and no monetary allowance will be offered for the student who has withdrawn from the public transportation service.

To benefit from the RTL public transport service, all students must have their OPUS card encoded with the required transport ticket and respect at all times the standards, regulations and directives issued by the RTL which concern in particular the possession and use of transport tickets, as well as the safety and behavior of people on board vehicles. To find out about the standards and regulations in force, please consult the section of the RTL website.

To find out all the schedules and available public transport routes, please consult the RTL website. To find out the school routes, integrated by school, click here.
If no integrated school line is available in your area for your child’s school, they must use the regular RTL lines.

– Schedules and routes section of the RTL website.
– Chrono app, Transit app and Google Maps

*During the summer, the internet pages of the integrated school lines will be temporarily unavailable since they will not be in service. All information will be reinstated, up to date, during the month of August.

An interactive tool is available on the RTL website to allow you to learn about the integrated school routes for each establishment. The interactive map is accessible to the general public from the student zone here. From this map, you can now identify the routes serving each establishment and locate their stops.

We recommend that any student who uses the public transport service read the J’Monte à bord! guide. This guide explains everything the student needs to know before making their first trips, as well as some distinctive safety concepts of the public transport bus compared to the school bus.
