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.

GCS buses cover more than 40,000 miles daily and have an 84% on-time arrival average. In some cases, students face ride times of up to 90 minutes or more each way. These changes will not only help to ensure more students arrive on time each day but will also increase efficiency.
