Fare
Busing
The State of Texas defines the parameters in determining whether
or not a student is declared eligible for regular education school
bus transportation. In general, a student must live 2-miles or more
from their assigned school to be eligible for regular education
school bus transportation at no additional charge. This is measured
from the midpoint of your property to the bus loading area adjacent
to the door at your student's assigned school by using the shortest
possible distance on public roads. Addresses with long driveways or apartments will be measured using the spot where the main driveway meets the public road.
For students who are not eligible for regular transportation to
their assigned school, Plano ISD offers a Fare Busing program on
a space available, area available, first come first served basis.
The cost is $35 per month per student. Enrollment instructions are
listed below.
Important note:
There are 14 of our elementary schools and 1 middle school where all students live
within 2-miles of the school. Because of this, these schools do
not offer home-to-school transportation, including Fare Busing
in most cases, for any regular education students. The schools
not offering regular education home-to-school transportation are Andrews,
Bethany, Christie, Daffron, Davis, Forman, Haun, Hedgcoxe, Hightower,
Hughston, Mathews, Meadows, Memorial, Robinson and Thomas.
