School Bus Schedules and Transportation
Jeffco Public School's Transportation Department proudly provides service for the almost 86,000 students who attend schools on 185 campuses.
Because of increased costs and decreasing state and local financial support, Jeffco Public Schools will continue to charge students for school bus transportation in the 2012-2013 school year.
Students Exempt from Bus Fees
Students who qualify for free and reduced lunch can apply to have bus fees waived. Information about applying for fee waivers can be found here. Special education students with individual needs and an approved IEP specifying eligibility for transportation as a related service will also be exempt from bus fees. If you cannot afford the bus fee, please talk to a school administrator.
Under a Board of Education approved plan, the bus fees are as follows:
- All students who ride the bus to a neighborhood school will be charged $150 per child, per year.
- Students who attend option schools will pay $200 per child, per year to ride the bus.
- Choice enrolled students or students ineligible for bus service (those living within walking distance and/or beyond bus service) may buy a bus pass for $200 per child, per year, depending on space available.
- Intra–school shuttles will cost $75 per child, per year.
- Half-day kindergarten passes will be available for $75 per child per year at neighborhood schools.
- Half-day kindergarten passes will be available for $100 per child, per year for option schools.
If a student does not ride the bus, they are not charged a fee.
Transportation fees may be paid before or during registration. Bus passes will be distributed by Transportation personnel.
After the first two weeks of school, students will need to show their pass upon boarding the bus.
