Transportation Department
Here at KVUSD Transportation Department, we're proud of getting students to school safely each day. We make sure safety comes first in everything we do, and we try our best to keep our transportation standards high across the district.
What We Do
Our team is full of people who work hard to give friendly, secure transportation that fits what the KVUSD community needs. We know that students need to get to school on time if they're going to learn well.
Who We Serve
We take students to school each day if they live too far to walk:
- Kids in kindergarten to 3rd grade: if they live more than 3/4 mile away
- Kids in 4th to 8th grade: if they live more than 1 mile away
- High school students: if they live more than 2 miles away
Our Vehicles
We have 15 school buses that run on 9 routes to and from school. Our staff takes about 950 students to school every morning and back home in the afternoon.
Each year, our buses drive about:
- 150,000 miles just on regular school routes
- 44,000 more miles taking kids to field trips and sports events
We really care about connecting students with their schools safely, and making sure they get there ready to learn each day.
Upcoming Events
Assigned Bus Stop Location Form
This form must be filled out by a parent prior to the student riding the bus at the beginning of each school year, even if they have ridden previously. If you move please, fill out a new form. If you move or require an additional bus stop, please submit a new form. The assigned stops will be the only stops the student will be transported to/from. If a temporary alternative stop is needed (a day or two), a written note or a call to either the respective school office OR the Transportation Office is necessary before alternative arrangements will be made.

Zpass System
All students riding the bus must have a bus pass. The bus pass is an RFID card that students scan when boarding and exiting the bus. This technology provides several important benefits:
- Real-time GPS location tracking of buses
- Accurate records of who is on each bus at any given time
- Documentation of where and when students board and exit
- Complete ridership data for safety and contact tracing purposes
- Enhanced ability to locate students who don't arrive at their expected destination
The transportation department frequently receives calls from parents searching for children who didn't arrive as planned. This system serves as a valuable tool for quickly locating students. The bus pass contains no personal information, so there are no privacy concerns if a card is lost.
Please remind your child to bring their bus pass every time they ride the bus. For younger students, we recommend attaching the pass to their backpack using the included retractable carabiner. Older students will receive a lanyard instead of a carabiner.
Field Trips and Sports Trips
Students are not required to have a bus pass for field trips or sports-related transportation.
Special Education Transportation
Students with IEPs that include transportation services (those who typically ride the smaller special education buses) do not need to take any additional action. While we will utilize the Zpass system for ridership tracking, drivers will maintain possession of the bus passes and scan them on behalf of students during boarding and exiting.
- Bus passes are required to ride the bus
- Students are responsible for keeping their bus pass in a safe location
- First pass is free. Replacement passes cost $5.00 if lost or destroyed (normal wear and tear replacements are provided at no charge)
- Lost or destroyed passes: Students may continue riding the bus for up to 2 days while waiting for a replacement. After 2 days, riding privileges will be suspended until a new pass is purchased. Contact your school office or the transportation department for replacements
- Forgotten passes: Students who forget their pass should notify the driver when boarding and will temporarily be allowed to ride. The first occurrence will result in a verbal warning. Repeated incidents may lead to suspension of bus riding privileges following the standard citation process
- Bus passes cannot be shared between students
- Bus passes do not expire and remain valid throughout the student's enrollment at Kelseyville Unified School District
