Transportation Exception Process

Transportation Exception Process

  • Students who require special transportation due to hardship, custody situations, or safety concerns may apply for an exception.
  • Exceptions will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and may be granted only if documentation supports the request, and seating is available.
  • DPS Transportation Department will first build routes for eligible students.
  • Transportation will only be granted if space is available on an existing bus route.

Who Can Apply for an Exception:

  • Families experiencing extreme hardship (e.g., no working vehicle, work conflicts, child care needs).
  • Households with custody arrangements requiring alternate pick-up/drop-off
  • Students with documented safety or medical concerns.

Next Steps:

  • Families in need of transportation due to hardship, custody situations, or safety/medical concerns must submit a Transportation Exception Request Form.
  • Forms are available through Infinite Campus Parent Portal or at the Transportation Department Office.
  • Applications will be accepted beginning July 28, 2025.  The deadline to submit applications will be August 22, 2025.
