Transportation updates for fall sports practices

Beginning this Tuesday, the City School District of Albany will use the CDTA bus system to provide transportation to student-athletes who need to travel between schools for fall sports practices.

The district’s transportation partners at First Student and local coach bus companies are not able to provide dedicated after-school buses for fall sports practices due to their ongoing shortage of drivers. The CDTA network provides access directly to, or near, all schools that serve as practice locations.

All student-athletes will continue to be transported to competitions via First Student buses. 

Student-athletes can ride the following CDTA buses to their practices beginning Tuesday (you can find route maps, directions and schedules for all routes in our Transportation section):
