Transportation

Students who reside in IPS Zones 1 map will receive free public school transportation.

Eligibility for school bus service is determined by a student’s home address and the school they attend. If a student’s school is outside of their home address zone boundary, the family will be responsible for providing their own transportation.

What Classifies My Child as a Walker?

A student is classified as a walker if they meet the following conditions:

• For grades K-5: the student lives 1 mile or less from their school

• For grades 6-8: the student lives 1.25 miles or less from their school

• For grades 9-12: the student lives 1.5 miles or less from their school

In rare situations where the distance ends in the middle of a block, the boundary will extend to the end of that block to avoid confusion for families (e.g., apartment complexes).
