To promote an eco-friendly and cost-effective transportation option, IPS Howrah offers a carpool service. This initiative encourages students from nearby areas to share rides, reducing traffic congestion and ensuring a safer journey. The benefits of our carpool service include:

• Safety & Supervision: Each carpool is monitored to ensure students travel securely with trusted parents and guardians.

To ensure the utmost safety of our students, we follow strict transport guidelines:

• Mandatory Seat Belt Usage: All students are required to wear seat belts while traveling in school transport.
  
• Fixed Pick-Up and Drop-Off Points: Designated stops minimize risks and help maintain order.
  
• No Unauthorised Boarding: Only registered students are allowed to board the school buses and carpools.
  
• Regular Safety Drills: We conduct periodic transport safety drills to educate students on emergency procedures.
  
• Parent Communication System: Parents are updated about any changes in transport schedules through SMS and app notifications.
