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.
Transportation Registration and Information
Register for transportation, decline bus service, or review current transportation information on the District’s Transportation website.
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.
If you live on a road that is not accessible by a school bus, the bus stop will be placed at the nearest accessible and safe location.
