Transportation FAQ  

August 3, 2010

 

  1. 1.      Where do I find my bus route information?

A letter was mailed the week of July 27, 2010 to the home address of each eligible bus student listed in IC with bus stop and route information.

There is also a link (http://www.infofinderi.com/tfi/address.aspx?cid=A1FSS5JE8XCP2C) on Adams 12 web site that can provide anyone with busing information.

Each school has been emailed a list of busing eligible students as well.

  1. What is Space A?  Space A means space availability and means there is additional capacity on an existing bus route. 
  2. How is a student eligible for accessing Space A?

Students may live within the walk distance to their school but may want to ride on a bus that passes nearer their home than the distance to walk to school.  If a route has capacity a student may apply for Space A, however they must be approved by transportation to get a Space A pass and they are responsible to get to the bus stop location for pick up.  Approved Space A students must also pay the transportation fee unless they are free and/or reduced lunch qualified.

  1. How does a student apply for Space Availability on a School Bus?

Students may apply for Space A by completing the Space A application form available from the transportation department.  The form can be mailed, faxed, or hand delivered.  We hope to have an online link to the form for downloading very soon.  Notice will be sent when the form is available online.

  1. 5.      Do we still need to put the student’s route number on their student ID?

Yes, that will help the students remember which route they are assigned to, and will help keep the buses from becoming overloaded.

  1. 6.      I have a bus route number on my student ID, does that mean I am already set up to be charged for transportation?

No. The bus number on the student ID simply means that they live within one of the transported areas for your school and are eligible to ride without filling out a Space Availability form.  The route number is the bus the eligible student has been assigned to and can ride to and from school starting the first day.

Information for bus passes and how riders will be charged for transportation will be mailed to all eligible students in August.

  1. 7.      What will be the process for signing up for transportation? 

An application will be mailed to all eligible students. They will be required to fill it out and send it back to transportation if they would like bus service. After transportation receives the application transportation will send the student an ID card that will serve as their bus pass. Students will be required to have this card with them every day to ride the bus.

 

  1. 8.      Is there another place for students to get the applications to ride the bus?

Applications for eligible riders (not space A) are available from Transportation. The form can be mailed, faxed, or hand delivered. We hope to have an online link to the form for downloading at the following web site very soon. Notice will be sent when this form is available on line.

  1. What happens if a Student does not have their assigned transportation pass?

If a student does not have their bus pass or if they have lost it, they will be given up to three (3) days grace period to continue to ride for those three days.  At the end of the grace period they will be referred back to the school and their parents will need to provide the transportation until a pass is acquired.  This is similar to previous years when a student did not have their pass. 

10.  What if a student loses their bus pass?

11.  If their bus pass is lost they may go to transportation and get a replacement card for $5.00 or they may call transportation at (720) 972-4300 and request a new card be mailed for the $5.00 plus an additional $2.00 for postage and handling.  

12.  Can a student ride the bus to and from school if we have not received the application for bus service when school starts? 

Yes, the applications will be mailed out by August 9th, but will not be processed until after school starts.  Since the billing for the transportation fee will be in arrears, all eligible students will be allowed to ride through the end of the first billing cycle.

13.  When will parents be billed for the Transportation Fee?

Billing will occur at the end of each quarter.  The first quarter will end October 31, 2010 and subsequent billing cycles will be at the end of January 2011, end of April 2011 and a final bill at the end of school year.   Billing and collection of fees will be handled by transportation and specific payment option information will be forthcoming.

14.  How can we pay our bill?

The District IT department is currently working on the billing and payment process and you will be notified when the process is complete.
