LAS VEGAS — On Monday, a crash at the Clark County School District (CCSD) Arville Bus Yard caused a transformer to be hit, cutting power to the maintenance and transportation facility located at 4499 Arville Street.
Incident and immediate response
According to a CCSD spokesperson, the vehicle involved was not affiliated with the district. The impact damaged the transformer that supplies electricity to the yard’s equipment, prompting the district to request that NV Energy de‑energize the site for safety.
NV Energy confirmed that crews responded promptly, secured the area and began work to restore service. “Power will remain off, where necessary, until repairs can be safely completed,” the spokesperson added.
Impact on bus operations
Despite the outage, CCSD says bus routes will continue to run. Drivers are being supported from other yards, and maintenance personnel have been reassigned to alternate service locations. Office staff have also been moved to other facilities to maintain communication with drivers and families.
The district’s administration remains on site to oversee the repair effort and ensure that transportation services are not disrupted for students.
Repair timeline
CCSD officials expect power to be restored as early as Tuesday, pending the completion of necessary repairs and safety checks. In the meantime, the district is monitoring the situation closely and will provide updates as needed.
Community reassurance
Parents and community members have been reassured that the incident will not affect student safety or the timeliness of bus services. The district’s swift coordination with NV Energy demonstrates a commitment to maintaining reliable transportation for the thousands of students who rely on school buses each day.
CCSD encourages anyone with questions about route changes or service updates to contact the district’s transportation office.
