Bus Stop Changes

Need to Request a Transportation Change?

The School City of Hobart Transportation Department understands that families' transportation needs sometimes change throughout the school year.

Whether you have moved, need daycare transportation, or would like to request a bus stop change, please review the information below before submitting a request.

 

Moved?

If your family has moved, your student's address must first be updated with their school before Transportation can process any transportation or bus stop changes.

Transportation cannot make routing changes based on an address that has not been updated through the student's school.

Submit a Request

Complete and submit the Bus Stop Change Request Form to request a transportation change.

Submission of a Bus Stop Change Request Form does not automatically approve a transportation change. Please wait for confirmation from the Transportation Department before utilizing a new bus stop or transportation arrangement.

What to Expect

Transportation requests may require several school days to review and process.

Please do not assume a transportation change has been approved until you receive confirmation from the Transportation Department.
