School Transportation Applications Now Available for 2025-26 School Year

As part of our preparation for the 2025-26 school year, we would like to share important information about the school bus transportation options available to your student.

Here’s a quick overview of the eligibility guidelines:

• Elementary and Middle School students are eligible for free transportation if they live more than two miles from their assigned school.
   
• High School students are eligible for free transportation if they live more than three miles from their assigned school.

If your family qualifies based on these mileage requirements and you would like to sign up for transportation, please complete the Application for Transportation.

Additionally, families who do not qualify for transportation based on mileage may apply for our Pay-to-Ride Program. If you’re interested in Pay-to-Ride, please submit your application and payment by June 6, 2025, to be considered for a bus spot at the start of the school year.

If you have any questions before applying, please don’t hesitate to contact our Transportation Manager, Esme Davis, at Davis.Esme@iowacityschools.org.
