Resources
Your student's school is your main source of information about eligibility for transportation. If your student is eligible, the school can provide you with the appropriate transportation application form that needs to be filled out and signed by the parent/guardian, and then signed by the principal. The school will send in the form for processing. If you have questions about your student’s eligibility for transportation, please contact his or her school.
