When do we register for bus transportation?

Parents/guardians whose children are eligible for bus transportation are asked to register to receive bus service each year. Families whose students have an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or a Section 504 plan that includes transportation do not need to register.

For the 2024-2025 school year, bus registration for all students is now open.

Please note, per Howard County Board of Education Policy 5200 Student Transportation Implementation Procedures:

  • Requests must be submitted prior to the final day of school for the upcoming school year. 
  • Late requests could result in a delay in transportation services. 
  • No transportation service will be provided prior to the approval of a submitted request.
