Number of General Education Routes
- The number of general education routes for home to school transportation is 13.
- The cost of an annual bus pass for remaining general education routes is $950 annually. NOTE: It costs PUSD approximately $1,550 annually to transport one student, PUSD will continue to subsidize bus passes $600 annually.
- We continue to actively recruit bus drivers and provide paid training so we can meet the transportation demands in our community (prioritizing legal mandates and safety concerns).
Non-Transportable Boundaries
- If your student lives outside our transportable zones, you may apply for a bus pass for assignment to an existing stop for their school by exception. This requires a case-by-case review for approval by PUSD Transportation Administration, and is subject to space and availability. Approval and assignment to an existing stop may be delayed to first allow for eligible student riders to be assigned seats.
