Seattle Public Schools Transportation Department
The Seattle Public Schools Transportation Department arranges transportation services for a variety of students attending Seattle Public Schools and Head Start.
Requests and Inquiries at the Start of the Year
Our office will be experiencing higher than normal call volumes as we receive requests and alterations from families, other SPS departments, and schools. This usually lasts for several weeks.
Your patience as our staff process requests is greatly appreciated.
Arrival/Departure Times
The Arrival/Departure times document contains information regarding the targeted arrival and departure times for buses serving those locations.
Transportation Service Standards
The Transportation Service Standards include information about who is eligible for transportation services and what kind of service they could be eligible for. There is also information about bus stop placement, conditions for changing a bus stop location, and the use of an alternate address.
Employment Opportunities

Walk, Bike, and Roll to School
About 1/3 of Seattle Public School students walk or bike to school most days! View resources to support more students to walk, bike, and roll.
Bike to Books
In spring 2023, Dunlap and South Shore students submitted designs for an art competition. These are the designs from Ms. Adrian’s and Mr. Horner’s art classes that the Seattle Department of Transportation will paint in the street next year! They’ll be on the “Healthy Street” route between Othello Playground and Rainier Beach library.
