Types of Transportation Service
Transportation services that are available to families vary by school and by each child’s eligibility for those services.
- At minimum, schools will provide student MetroCards to eligible students
- Schools may also offer stop-to-school bus service if sufficient students meet busing eligibility criteria
- Curb-to-school or specialized bus service is provided to students whose medical, health, or disability-related conditions or special circumstances prevent them from being able to walk or utilize other forms of transportation to get to and from school.
Why is the Bus Late?
Sometimes buses are delayed because of traffic congestion or mechanical failure. Check our bus delays(Open external link) page to see if your child’s route has been affected.
