Transportation

Leer en español

Getting children safely to school on time and back home again is our priority! Bus drivers are often the first school contact in the morning for our students, and our goal is help start their day off on the right foot. All of our drivers go through a rigorous hiring and training process before they begin serving our students and families.

We provide bus transportation for:

Non-transfer elementary students living 1.5 miles or more from their school; and
Non-transfer middle school or high school students living 2 miles or more from their school.

Buses may arrive up to 15 minutes after the scheduled stop time. Students should remain at the stop up to 15 minutes after the scheduled stop time. If students wait longer than 15 minutes, call 918-833-8100.

If your student attends one of our charter partner schools, please reach out to the school for information on transportation.

students 2nd grade and younger

For students 2nd grade and younger: Occasionally, the parent or caregiver of a student is not present at a bus stop to receive the child on time. To protect our youngest riders, student’s 2nd grade or younger will not be dropped off without a parent or sibling (4th grade or older) being present. These students will be returned to their school site or brought to the East Terminal at 1815 North 77th East Avenue. Parents who are unable to meet their child as usual should contact the transportation department. Unsuccessful attempts to contact parents or guardians may result in transportation contacting the Department of Human Services (DHS), Campus Police, and the Tulsa Police Department. Multiple occurrences may result in the loss of bus privileges and notification sent to the Department of Human Services.
