• HISD’s Transportation Department delivers thousands of students to and from school safely every day. Students who attend their zoned schools or magnet schools and live more than two miles from their school are eligible to ride the bus to and from stops designated by HISD. To request bus service for your child, please contact HISD’s administrative offices at 713-613-3040. You can get route information online here, and you can see exactly where your child’s bus is here. You will need your child’s student ID number to create an account. The district’s account number is 76647. 
     
    Standard Education - Two-Mile Students
    Students who are attending their zoned schools of attendance and who reside two or more miles (as measured along the shortest route that may be traveled on public roads) from their assigned campuses are eligible for transportation services at district-designated stops.
     
    Magnet Programs
    Resident district students who are attending magnet programs on approved transfers and who reside two or more miles (as measured along the shortest route that may be traveled on public roads) from their assigned campuses are eligible for transportation services at district designated stops.
     
    Special Education Programs
    Students eligible for transportation to special education programs are resident district students with disabilities, impairments, or both who are eligible for special education services and who would be unable to attend school and benefit from their special education programs of instruction without the availability of specialized transportation. To be eligible for special education transportation, a student must attend the closest available program to his or her zoned school of attendance and have:
    1. A written Admission, Review, and Dismissal (ARD) committee recommendation requesting specialized transportation services and stating the specific type of transportation services necessary to reasonably accommodate the student’s disability or impairment; and;
    2. An Individualized Education Program or Individualized Family Service Plan that includes the written recommendation of the ARD committee requesting specialized transportation services.
