Students must be registered on a route to ride, and guest riders are not permitted. The district also outlines school bus safety expectations (for example: arrive at the stop 10 minutes early, remain seated, keep aisles clear, and only cross in front of the bus when red alternating lights are flashing and the driver signals it is safe).

Families enroll through Central Okanagan Public Schools (SD23) by finding their catchment school and completing the district enrolment application. The district lists required documentation after applying (proof of age/citizenship and parent/guardian BC residency and address documentation) and notes that some newcomers may need an enrollment code through the Welcome Centre before applying.
