Transportation

Remember: Stop means stop! Watch the proper way to stop for a school bus, and what NOT to do.

Bloomington Public 学校 is proud to provide safe and efficient transportation for more than 8,000 students daily.

Notification of Transportation Absence

资格

We provide transportation to the following resident students:

  • Elementary students (PreK-5) who reside in the school’s attendance area and live at least half a mile from school.
  • Secondary students (6-12) who reside in a school’s attendance area and live at least 1.25 miles from school.

If your child lives in the walk area – less than half a mile for elementary and less than 1.25 miles for secondary – your child may be eligible for busing through our pay-to-ride program. Students may be able to use the nearest established bus stop outside the walk area of the school once payment has been received.
