School Bus Schedules and Transportation
Jeffco Public School's Transportation Department proudly provides service for the more than 86,000 students who attend approximately 138 schools.
Because of increased costs and decreasing state and local financial support, Jeffco Public Schools must charge students for school bus transportation beginning with the 2011-2012 school year.
All students who are eligible to ride the bus to a neighborhood school will be charged $100 per child, per year. Students who attend option schools will pay $150 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 $150 per year depending on space available.
Transportation fees may be paid before or during registration. Students who have pre-paid will be given passes at registration; those who pay at registration will be given the pass by their bus driver at the start of the school year. After the first two weeks of school, students will need to show their pass upon boarding the bus.
Students Exempt from Bus Fees
Students who qualify for free and reduced lunch can apply to have bus fees waived. 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.
