Transportation in 109

District 109 contracts with Olson Transportation to provide transportation services for its students. The performance of the services is monitored on a daily basis by each individual school.

Students who live 1.5 miles or more from their designated school are eligible for free bus service, as are students who reside in an area where walking to school is designated as hazardous by criteria established by the Illinois Department of Transportation. Students residing in an area less than 1.5 miles from school and not in a designated hazardous area can, for a fee, obtain bus services, providing space is available on an existing route. Bus riders will receive their bus pass within the first two weeks of school. Only students with a bus pass are allowed to ride the bus.

If you believe there is a safety hazard at your child’s current assigned bus stop, please email transportation@dps109.org.

After you complete the form, send any supporting documentation (maps, photographs, etc.) to the Transportation Department at transportation@dps109.org.
