Transportation-Maps Selecting Schools in Your Transportation Region

The elementary schools in MPS are divided into eight transportation regions. The regions are coded according to high school areas. Regions run north-south through the city. Transportation is not provided for attendance area schools. If you select a school outside of your attendance area but in your region, you will be provided transportation if you live outside of the walk zone, a one-mile radius from the school. If you select a school outside of your region, you must provide transportation unless the school is citywide. Citywide schools transport children from all regions. Charter Schools have their own transportation rules. Always ask about transportation if you choose a Charter School.

Transportation for Elementary Pupils

Your elementary-age child can get transportation if he/she attends a:
■ Neighborhood School and lives more than two miles away.
■ School in your region that is not your neighborhood school and you live more than one mile away.
■ Citywide School and you live more than one mile away.
■ Montessori School in your Montessori region and you live more than one mile away.
■ Neighborhood Specialty School and you live outside of its attendance area and more than one mile from the school.
or
■ The IEP for a child with special needs requires specialized transportation.
