Welcome to the Alachua County Public Schools Transportation Department

  • We take the safety of transporting your child(ren) very seriously!  We are here to assist you with getting answers to your concerns and questions regarding the transportation of your child(ren) to and from school.

    It is important for us to have the most up-to-date information in order to be able to meet your needs and transport children safely.  If your place of residence changes after being assigned a stop, please notify the school so that a new stop can be arranged.  Route Coordinators will review the situation using state guidelines to determine whether busing can be provided. Please allow 3-5 days for a bus stop to be arranged. Stops are scheduled based on the student’s primary addresses. Pick up and drop off must be from the same location. 

    A Skylert will be sent when your child(ren)'s bus is going to be more than 15 minutes late. Please contact your child's school to make sure you are registered to receive Skylert notices from the district and make sure your information is current, especially your phone number and email address. Skylerts are sent out through SMS messages, emails, and phone calls. 

    Due to route changes last school year, please review your child(ren) bus information for the 2024-2025 school year here.

    Parents can request transportation for students if their route meets the ‘hazardous walking conditions’ as per state law. 

Registration for Bus Ridership

  • This is a reminder that you MUST register your child for bus transportation if:

    1. Your child is new to the district.
    2. Your child did not ride a bus last year.
    3. Your child is living at a different address than last year and needs transportation from that new address.
    4. Your child is now attending a magnet program that they were not attending last year.

    Even if a bus picks up a student in the morning, they are not eligible to ride the bus home if they are not registered.
    Students do not need to register for transportation if they have moved up from their zoned elementary school to their zoned middle school or from their zoned middle to their zoned high school.

    You can register for transportation by contacting your child’s school or by calling the Transportation Department at (352) 955-7602.

    On the School/Transportation Search page, please be sure to type in your child’s grade for the 2024-25 school year and your correct address to access bus information. If your street is a numbered street, you must type it in using the street number suffix—for example: 2nd Street, 23rd Lane, 124th Blvd. Then type in your zip code and click the Find School/Transportation Info button.

Late Bus

  • If your bus is running more than 10 minutes behind schedule, please call your student-assigned school first. We normally make calls to the schools when buses are running late, or, if you prefer, you can also give the Transportation Department a call at (352) 955-7602.

    Thank you for your patience and understanding.
