What You Need to Know About Transportation

Our primary goal is the safe transportation of students to and from school. We work diligently to make sure that transportation services are efficient and cost effective for Hartford families.  

 

We need you to do your part too.  Parents and guardians, please assume the responsibility of safety at bus stops including getting children to and from bus stops.  We rely on your involvement to keep our students (your children) safe from harm as they travel to and from school.

 

Click here for up-to-date bus route information.   Just choose the school your child attends from the left side of the page and the bus routes for the school will appear.  Not sure which zone a school is in?  See the latest Hartford Public School zone maps for details about which schools are located in each zone.
