Bus Yard Ribbon-Cutting
New Castle, DE- The Colonial School District (CSD) will officially open its new expanded school bus yard on Wednesday, November 13, 2024, at its Operations Center at 157 Airport Road, New Castle, DE 19720 at 12:30 PM with a brief ribbon-cutting ceremony. In 2016 CSD acquired the old New Castle County inspection lanes from the Delaware Department of Transportation. While the facility has proved to be a perfect location for CSD’s operations department, the lack of parking spaces for 90 buses proved to be a long-standing challenge.
“This is more than a big new parking lot, it’s a game changer for us. Coming and going will be safer and more efficient for our drivers and aides. Now, there is more than enough space for our fleet. We will also have charging stations for our three electric buses with additional space for more when we get them,” said Operations Director Andrew Moffett.
