Bus Pay to Ride Program

Return to all FAQ's

Q: What is the Pay-to-Ride program?

A: The Pay-to-Ride Program has been established for those students who live less than 1.5 miles from their child's school and who intend to utilize the school bus transportation service. The child's parent or guardian must register for the Pay-to-Ride program to reserve seating on the bus.

Distance from home to school is calculated by the School District's routing system, Versatrans, and may differ from odometer readings or other mileage calculators such as online computer maps. If you are uncertain of the distance of your home to your child's school of attendance, information on the streets that are under 1.5 miles is available on the District's website under the transportation tab or you may wish to contact the bus company directly at (508)584-3181.

Q: What is the deadline to have the registration completed?

A: The registration period for the 2017-2018 Pay-to-Ride program has closed for current BRRSD students/families. However, FUTURE KINDERGARTEN students/families, who live under 1.5 miles from their respective schools, will soon receive a Pa-to-Ride Registration Letter in the mail. This letter will include registration information and a fee schedule. If you have questions regarding Pay-to-Ride registration, you are encouraged to please contact the Central Office at (508)279-2140 ext. 116.
