Can I make payments for my student’s bus pass?
You may sign up for the quarterly auto-pay plan if you are purchasing an annual pass. There is a $4 service charge per transaction. The first payment is due at the time of purchase and subsequent payments will be automatically charged to your credit card on Nov 1st, Feb 1st, and May 1st. 

Am I eligible for a free or reduced-fare?
You can view the Federal Income Chart and locate your household size and income to see if you may be eligible for a free or reduced fare. All applications for free or reduced-fare must include a document from the list of acceptable income verification documents and be approved by the transportation department. 

If I apply online, how will I receive my bus pass?
If your application is processed before the start of the school year, your student’s bus pass will be mailed to you. If your application is processed when school is in session, we can send your student’s bus pass with the bus driver.

How will I know which bus stop my student is assigned to?
After your application has been processed you will receive a confirmation email with your student’s bus stop and pick-up and drop-off times.
