Route
Criteria
The Texas Educational Agency defines the parameters of bus eligibility.
In general, a student must live 2 or more miles from their assigned
school to be eligible for regular education school bus transportation
to and from school. The 2-mile measurment requires using only public streets. Long driveways or apartment adresses will be measured from where the main driveway meets the public road. Students who transfer to a school other than
their assigned school are not eligible for bus transportation.
Plano ISD provides a Fare Busing
program in some areas for students who do not meet the criteria
to be declared bus eligible due to living within 2 miles of their
assigned school.
Each of our bus stops are designed after a careful study of
demographics, walking distances to stops and ridership in your
area. The overall safety of the stop placement is the most important
factor considered.
We invite you to utilize our bus "Route Finder" tool to check for eligibility and bus stops for your home address. The link is located at the upper right of this page in the gray box.
