The district may be unable to accommodate transportation for all eligible riders due to driver shortages. We strongly encourage families to consider transporting their students to school when feasible or make alternative arrangements to the extent possible”.

Registration is required to be eligible for consideration for Westminster Public Schools transportation services.   

Having accurate data on how many transportation-eligible students will utilize their eligibility assists in efficient route planning, decreasing delays, and supports our ability to provide safe and reliable transportation to our Westminster Public Schools families.

Registration for transportation services will be open on Monday, April 24, 2023, and route assignments for the school year 2023-2024 will begin on August 1, 2023.  Registration is not a guarantee of an assigned route, and registration creates an accurate list of eligible passengers per bus. 

Students with a primary address within WPS District schools boundaries and/or a primary address outside the walk area of their home school will receive priority route assignments. They will find bus stop locations and times posted on the transportation tab on your student's Infinite Campus record starting Aug. 1, 2023.

Students with a primary address within the walking boundaries of their school of attendance and/or students with a primary address outside of District boundaries will receive consideration of route assignments beginning Monday, Sept. 11, 2023.

When a route reaches the legal capacity level, all remaining registrations for that particular area/route will be placed on a waitlist. Students and parents will be notified via email.
