The registration window for school bus transportation for Guilford County Schools (GCS) will be open from April 8 through May 31. All students who have never registered or will have a change of address this fall can register here.

• Families should complete the Transportation Preference Form if:
• They are new to GCS. Their family has moved or there has been a change in address for the student.
• Their student has changed schools.
• Their student was signed-up for transportation last school year, but never rode the bus or stopped riding the bus.   
•  Families do not have to complete a new Transportation Preference Form if all transportation information from the previous school year (i.e. school, morning pick-up location and afternoon drop-off location) will remain the same. 

If there have been any changes, a new Transportation Preference Form should be completed.      

The transportation department utilizes six modes of transportation. Factors used to determine which modes are assigned include but are not limited to, program location, student ridership, staff availability, etc.

This fall, several important changes will go into effect that parents need to be aware of and plan for.

New and current students at the following 25 schools will need to re-register for transportation due to high numbers of non-ridership.

While more than 40,000 students registered for transportation last year, only 29,000 students currently ride the bus.

Additionally, newly admitted Early/Middle College at GTCC students or current students whose home address has changed will only be provided transportation based on their home school attendance zone. The new transportation service zones can be found here.

Current Early/Middle College at GTCC students with an assigned bus stop and those who do not live in the mentioned zones will retain their transportation through graduation unless they move.

The Transportation Department will host several in-person registration events for families.

All families will receive communications regarding transportation from their school.
