District 91 bus service for registered K-8 students Starts on the 1st day of school.

ALL parents interested in utilizing the transportation service must indicate the need for transportation via the online registration form for the new school year. You will be notified via email of your child's bus stop and other transportation information prior to the first day of school.

Please email Mr. Johnsen at sjohnsen@fpsd91.org or call (708)366-5700 with any questions.

Thank You,

District 91 Transportation Department

The transportation program is set up to pick the closest stop to your house and to average out the ridership across school routes as well as the entire District. All students are expected to walk to a local stop. Requests to move stops closer to a student's home for any reason are not honored unless required per a student's IEP.

Tentative schedules: 

• All bus routes start at approximately 7:00 a.m. and leave school at dismissal.

Things to consider:

• Students should be at their stop 5 minutes before their scheduled pick-up time; buses may be early or late due to traffic, weather conditions, or the number of students riding on any given day. Drivers cannot wait for students to arrive at the stop.

• At the start of a new school year, there will be a 2-week adjustment period regarding any route or stop changes, unless there are safety issues or mistakes due to address changes. Individual requests for changing bus stop locations will not be honored.

Due to the large number of riders per bus, special transportation requests (such as scout meetings, birthday parties, playtime at a friend's house) cannot be honored. Also, parents will have to drive their children to school if they miss the bus. 

Proper student behavior while riding the school bus is essential for the safety of all students. Students are under the jurisdiction of the school bus driver and the bus aide while riding the bus unless the Superintendent designates another adult to supervise the riders.
