Transportation

Our Commitment

Safe & Efficient Transit of Students

Waxahachie ISD is pleased to provide bus transportation as a privilege to all students who meet eligibility requirements during the regular school year. Student eligibility for bus service is determined in accordance with Board policy.

Service

Our goal is to make bus transportation a positive and enriching part of every student’s educational experience. We are dedicated to offering safe, comfortable, and pleasant rides while maintaining the highest standards of efficiency.

Successful and effective transportation depends on the cooperation of bus drivers, staff, school administrators, and parents or guardians.

ID Badge Distribution and Use

At the start of each school year, every student will be issued a photo ID badge at no cost. This badge, featuring a unique student number, is used to account for students accessing transportation services and serves to easily identify students in common areas of the campus. The badge may also be used for other campus-specific purposes as determined by the administration.
