Instructions for Subscription Busing
School Year 2022-2023

Past participation does not guarantee a seat and you must apply for busing each year.

All subscription busing requests can be completed by printing the Subscription Busing Application or picking it up at the Transportation Department or your school office and submitting it to the Transportation Department. Payment is required for the full year. No partial payments will be accepted.

How to Apply for Subscription Busing

Payment is due within three days of notification. Students will be assigned to existing bus stops and routes based on availability closest to their home. No changes or requests for additional routes or stops will be added. 

All families who qualify for Free/Reduced Lunch in 2022-2023 will be eligible for subscription busing at no cost with proper documentation/verification. Please verify your eligibility before registering for subscription busing services. Contact the Business Office at 973-509-4020, ext. 50608 for verification.
