The mission of Washington Local Schools’ Transportation Department is to maintain a safe, clean bus fleet; transport and aid district students in a safe, efficient, and responsible manner, and achieve a spirit of respect and fairness towards one another that results in a positive educational and working experience for all.

State regulations require transportation for students in grades K-8 living over two miles from the school they attend. Washington Local provides transportation for students living over one mile from the building to which they are assigned.

Bus routes and schedules are distributed to parents of children in the program at the beginning of each school year; they are also available from the transportation department. Students should report to their designated bus stops five minutes prior to scheduled stop times.

Washington Local’s bus fleet transports more than 4,000 students daily to and from more than 25 public and parochial schools, adding up to 435,000 miles per year.

For additional information, contact the Transportation Department at 419-473-8356.
