Is your child a JCPS bus rider?
Visit Bus Teller to see bus stop information.
Parents/Guardians of Bus Riders: The 485-RIDE hotline is no longer in operation. Families with questions about transportation should contact their child’s school, bus compound, or Transportation Department at (502) 485-3470.
Students must complete the Transportation Verification form to be assigned a bus stop. If your child is eligible for JCPS transportation and you've recently moved, please also report your address change by using the Proof of Address Form OR call your child’s school.
Exceptions may apply for students who are eligible to receive McKinney Vento Homeless Assistant Act services, foster children, and Exceptional Child Education (ECE) students who have Special Needs Transportation (SNT) in their Individual Education Program (IEP).
2024-25 School Year Information
Transportation
In April 2024, the Jefferson County Board of Education approved a new transportation plan for the 2024-25 school year to help more students arrive on time.
Most magnet school students will no longer be eligible for JCPS transportation.
With a dramatic shortage of bus drivers and more routes than drivers, the board voted to cut JCPS transportation for students* who:
—Attend full magnet schools with the exception of Central and Western High Schools
—Attend magnet programs within a school
—Attend traditional schools
—Attend non-resides Academies of Louisville programs
That means students at several JCPS schools will no longer have access to bus transportation from JCPS.
Example
Transportation will be provided if your child attends Atherton High School, is enrolled in the IB Magnet Program, and lives in the Atherton High School Zone.
Transportation will NOT be provided if your child attends Atherton High School, is enrolled in the IB Magnet Program, and does NOT live in the Atherton High School Zone.
Exceptions may apply for students who are eligible to receive McKinney Vento Homeless Assistant Act services, foster children, and Exceptional Child Education (ECE) students who have Special Needs Transportation (SNT) in their Individual Education Program (IEP).
School Start Times
The Jefferson County Board of Education approved 2024-25 school start times at their May 2024 meeting.
