Instructions for Subscription Busing: 2025-2026
Past participation does not guarantee a seat. You must apply for busing each year.
Subscription busing is not guaranteed. The district must first determine if there are
additional seats available after all distance eligible students have been counted.
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.
All families who qualify for Free/Reduced Lunch in 2025-2026 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.
