Questions and Concerns

Families may request a change to the existing location of a bus stop for safety reasons. The distance from your house to your assigned bus stop is not considered a safety issue. The maximum walking distances in School Board Policy for neighborhood stops are three-tenths of a mile for elementary students, and half a mile for middle and high students. Stops are usually placed on corners and no closer than two-tenths of a mile apart unless safety hazards exist. Buses are routed on state or city-maintained roads only and are generally prohibited from traveling into cul-de-sacs.

Recommended walk distances do not apply to express bus stops. Parents accept responsibility for driving their children to express stops, which are typically located at public schools or shopping center.
