Welcome to the Transportation
Homepage
We transport over
25,000 students twice a day throughout Seattle. Our goal is to
operate safe, dependable and cost effective transportation services
for our students. We want the student's ride to be part of a
positive educational experience. However, in spite of our best
efforts, we know that occasionally buses will be late due to
traffic, vehicle breakdowns, substitute drivers and student
management issues. We are committed to make every effort to reduce
these problems.
First Student Inc and
its subcontractor Curtis Transportation and Laidlaw will be
providing transportation services for our students this year. If
you have any questions or concerns during the school year, please
feel free to call us at 252-0900. We may also be contacted
by E-Mailing transdept@seattleschools.org.
Our hours are 7:30 A.M. to 4:30 P.M.
