Transportation
College Station ISD transports more than 4,400 students daily, covering 96 square miles using approximately 118 buses, averaging approximately 1 million miles a year.
Our Mission
The College Station ISD Transportation Department strives to provide the safest, most courteous and efficient school bus service to all eligible students.
Our Goals
As members of the education community, CSISD Transportation Department Bus Drivers and Bus Aides will serve as an example for student riders by presenting a professional image, providing positive interactions and maintaining a safe and clean school bus environment.
The Department's goal is to gain public confidence through courteous and safe operation of district vehicles by observing all traffic laws, using defensive driving, maintaining route reliability, and dealing with all customers and the general public in a respectful and professional manner.
Transportation Registration
All bus riders (new and returning) must fill out the Transportation Registration Form at the beginning of each school year in order to ride the bus to and/or from school.
General Information
Adaptive Equipment
- Child Safety Restraint Systems (car seats) are required by Texas law to be used by students younger than 4 years old OR less than 36 inches in height. Only car seats that are provided by CSISD will be utilized. It is unsafe for students weighing more than 40 pounds to use car seats in the school bus. Booster seats for children weighing over 40 pounds require a three-point shoulder harness, which is not available on school buses.
- Lift Equipped Buses transport students and their mobility equipment. All wheelchairs will be secured in a forward facing position. The wheelchairs will be anchored to the bus floor and the lap tray will be removed and properly stowed prior to transport. The Department will not be responsible for transporting empty wheelchair(s) to and from school and home.
Scheduling: Policies / Procedures
- Changes in service may take up to two working days for implementation.
Special Needs Routing
- The goal for Special Needs Routing is to have no student on the bus for more than 1 hour.
- Pick-up and drop-off sequence and times are based on the student's proximity to the school and the medical needs of the students assigned to the route.
- CSISD Transportation Department provides pick-up and drop-offs that are the closest and safest for Special Education students eligible to receive special needs transportation. It is the parent/caregiver responsibility to meet the bus at the curb to transfer custody of the student.
The Transportation Center offices are located at 9304 Rock Prairie Rd, College Station, Texas

Eligibility
Transportation is available for children who live two miles or more from their assigned school. The distance a student lives from their assigned school is measured using the shortest route that may be traveled on publicly maintained roads between the flagpole of the campus and the nearest driveway of the student's legal residence. Students residing within two miles of their assigned school may have transportation available if their neighborhood qualifies as hazardous under the district's hazardous transportation rating system. Check your eligibility.
Some students who participate in vocational programs or classes not offered at their school are transported between schools. Special education students are eligible for transportation if need is established through the Admission, Review, and Dismissal (ARD) process.
