Kids boarding a school bus

The Lancaster ISD Transportation Department is dedicated to providing safe and reliable transportation to all eligible students (K-12) each day for home-to-school and for school-to-home.  

Students must reside 2 (two) or more miles from their home campus in order to be eligible for bus service.

Our transportation professionals strive to provide excellent customer service while maintaining a safe and clean school bus environment. 

All bus stop times are estimates only and could be affected by weather, traffic and various conditions. 

We ask that students arrive at their designated bus stop at least 10 minutes prior to the estimated pick up time to ensure they are at the stop when the bus arrives.

My Ride K-12

Lancaster ISD is introducing My Ride K-12, a parent communication app, to its transportation operations. My Ride K-12 is a one-of-a-kind mobile app integrated with your Lancaster ISD's student transportation software that allows both you and your student to access estimated times of arrival or departure for your bus. This helps ensure that you and your student are on time for pick-ups and drop-offs while making the bus route more efficient.

 My Ride K-12 is designed so you can access your student’s bus schedules efficiently. GPS technology on the bus works with the district’s software to automatically calculate the timing of a bus route to give you the most accurate ETAs with real-time updates. No more calls to your school are needed for updates. Information can now be accessed at the touch of a button. Your students may also access the app if they have a mobile device. Sign up for push notifications to be automatically notified about changes in your student’s bus arrival, and to prevent you from having to frequently check the My Ride K-12 app for ETAs.

 My Ride K-12 is now available for you to download on your Apple or Android mobile device. Simply search the app store for “My Ride K-12” to download and register yourself on the app. Please ensure that you change your password upon initially logging in, as this will help ensure secure login and user management moving forward.
