Magnet Express alternate stops
Families can request a different express bus stop for their student before the new school year begins.
How it works
We assign each student receiving magnet express bus service to the nearest express stop based on your home address. Express stops are usually at schools or community centers.
If you need a different stop, you can request an alternate express stop for the morning, afternoon, or both. Only existing magnet express stops for your student’s school are eligible. New stop locations are not considered through this process.
Important deadlines
To ensure service at your preferred stop on the first day of school:
-
Modified calendar schools: Request by June 16, 2025
-
Traditional calendar schools: Request by July 14, 2025
If we receive your request after these dates, we will process it in the order received. We cannot guarantee approval if the route is full.
After the deadline
If your request is approved, it applies to the current school year only. You must submit a new request each year if you wish to continue using an alternate stop.
Please submit only one request per student. Submitting duplicates may delay our response.
