Welcome to the Harlem School District Transportation Department.
Each school day, our transportation team safely connects thousands of students to learning opportunities across Harlem School District. We are committed to providing safe, reliable, and efficient transportation while creating a positive experience for every student who rides one of our buses.
Our dedicated team of drivers, bus assistants, dispatchers, mechanics, and support staff work together to ensure that every route is carefully planned, every vehicle is properly maintained, and every trip is focused on student safety. From the first morning pickup to the final afternoon drop-off, our goal is to provide dependable transportation that allows students to arrive at school ready to learn and return home safely each day.
This page is designed to help families access transportation information, including bus eligibility, routing, safety expectations, alternate transportation requests, and answers to frequently asked questions. We encourage families to partner with us by reviewing school bus safety guidelines and communicating with our team whenever questions or concerns arise.
Thank you for trusting Harlem School District with one of the most important parts of your child's school day. Together, we can ensure every ride is safe, respectful, and successful.
I am Harlem. You are Harlem. We are Harlem.
