New Bus Route Lookup System
Conroe ISD Transportation has upgraded its student routing software from Compass to Traversa. As a result, the process for looking up bus riding information will look different than in previous years.
Parents and guardians can continue to access bus route information through the Transportation website by selecting What Bus Do I Ride?, which will direct viewers to the new My Ride K-12 portal.
Please keep in mind that the new system will provide one of three results:
- If transportation information is available, the system will display the general bus riding information for the bus stop closest to your home address. Note the posted pick up and arrival times will vary considerably for the first few weeks of school as car lines level out over time and bus ridership is balanced based on new riders.
- If the message "No Results Found" appears, your student may not qualify for transportation based on the District’s Board-approved eligibility guidelines. It may also mean your student has not been registered for transportation, your enrollment or address information has not been updated, or another issue is temporarily preventing bus information from being displayed.
- Need to register your student? Visit the Conroe ISD Bus Registration page to complete the registration process it may mean your student may not qualify for school bus transportation based on the District's Board approved transportation eligibility guidelines. It may also occur for other reasons, such as enrollment information that has not yet been updated, a recent address change, or other miscellaneous circumstances that temporarily prevent bus information from being displayed.
We appreciate your patience as we transition to this enhanced routing system. Traversa provides improved routing capabilities and will better support our students, families, and staff.
Walk-to-Stop Confirmation
How do I know if my child is eligible to ride the bus?
CISD Board-approved guidelines state that students are eligible for transportation when they live more than one mile from their school or live near an identified hazardous road, such as a highway.
- When you register your child for transportation, the system will automatically assign a bus stop unless your physical home address is within one mile of your child’s school.
- If you do not need bus service, visit the Transportation website, select Register for Transportation, and choose No.
How is the one-mile distance measured?
The one-mile distance is measured from the point where the residence’s driveway meets the public or community road to the nearest point where a campus driveway, pedestrian walkway, or greenbelt provides access to school property.
Distances are measured using CISD school bus routing software and Montgomery County Appraisal District maps.
The Board of Trustees has established maximum walk-to-stop distances for students who are eligible for transportation.
These are the maximum walk-to-stop distances for each grade group. Distances are measured along public roads. Distances within apartment complexes or along private roads are not included in the calculation.
