Bringing our students to and from school each day is one of the largest and most complex responsibilities entrusted to Cincinnati Public Schools, with buses carrying more than 31,000 students a day and covering more than 5 million miles a year.
School transportation services are offered to eligible students who live within the boundaries of the Cincinnati Public School District and attend Cincinnati Public Schools, as well as students who live in our district and attend non-public and charter schools.
The Pupil Transportation Branch determines the appropriate type of transportation service to be used such as:
Transportation service is offered daily, on a single round-trip basis, ie. home to school and school to home. Any transportation service offered beyond this may be considered when it can be accomplished safely and efficiently.
Students are assigned to Board-approved stops for efficiency. Routes are designed according to state and district safety operating procedures and industry best practices. Routes are designed to serve the maximum amount of students and keep the trips as short as possible.
School transportation services are designed with the "Safety First" concept in mind. All services meet or exceed local, state and national statutes and regulations. Bus drivers are scrutinized, trained and licensed in accordance with state and national statutes and regulations. Buses are maintained and inspected in accordance with state statutes and regulations. Safety is a continuous process due to changing conditions.
Riggs, Petermann and First Student are in need of bus drivers. For more information, please contact the bus companies directly.
