Welcome!

The Jacksonville Independent School District's Department of Transportation looks forward to transporting your children to and from school for the 2024-2025 school year. We have partnered with Tyler Technology and have new routing software that will further modify bus stops to allow our department to operate in a more cost efficient manor.

Beginning for the 2024-2025 school year you will be require registration in order to ride the bus. Please refer to the 2024-2025 Bus Service Registration on the right hand side of the page. We will also be rolling out a smart phone parent app that will allow the parent or guardian to access their bus stop location, route and pick up time utilizing Tyler Technology's Ride 360 app. Please refer to the Ride 360 link on the right hand side of the page.

 

Bus stops are placed at centralized locations that can be safely accessed by a significant number of students to minimize the time length and mileage of the route.. It is very important that you assess your child's age and maturity before permitting him or her to walk unaccompanied to school or to a bus stop. Keep in mind that children younger than age 9 or 10 often do not make good decisions regarding traffic safety and generally should be accompanied by an adult or responsible older child. We at Transportation Look Forward to Serving You and Your Children.

Parents or other concerned persons with questions, or needing information regarding special education or Compass Center routes, should call 903-541-2398. As the School year progresses, we may find it necessary to make changes to some routes. We will make it a point to ensure that ample notice is given when doing so.
