Transportation

Please contact the transportation office for your updated routes.  The transportation department will send an email from our route service TravelTracker that will show your child's route, pick-up and drop-off location, and pick-up and drop-off times.  

Bus Eligibility
Argyle ISD uses a computerized routing and mapping system as the standard by which all eligibility measurements are made. This is accomplished by incorporating GIS street and parcel data provided by the county. When schools are established, the GPS coordinates of the flagpole are taken and imported into the routing system. This allows for the most accurate measurement between the flagpole and each residence in a given attendance zone and is the standard used by Argyle ISD.  Transportation is provided to students who live two miles or more from their zoned school, or to those who reside within the two-mile zone but beyond a district-designated hazardous route.

Not Eligible for Busing?
Although we take great measures to avoid inaccuracies, please understand that errors may occur. If you feel we have made an error, please send an email to the transportation supervisor michael.delong@argyleisd.com. The Transportation Department will investigate the request and verify the distance determined by the mapping and routing system. After the verification is complete, an email or phone response will be sent with the findings. If it is determined that the measurement is incorrect, the appropriate changes to the stop boundary will be made, and the bus information will be provided.

Student ID Badges
All students will be issued a student ID badge on or around the first day of school. This badge will be used for a varity of uses including badging on and off of the bus.  Students must have their bus pass to ride the bus.  Replacement badges will be issued at the campus level, and the students account will be charged $5 for each replacement badge. 

In Argyle ISD, student safety is always our number one priority. AISD Transportation requires that all students in Kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade have a legal guardian, parent, or sibling (4th grade or older) at the bus stop to receive them off the bus. 

School Board Approved Walk-to-Stop Distances 
Routes are created using the Board-approved walk-to-stop distances. Elementary students may be required to walk up to ¼ of a mile to a bus stop.
Middle School and High School students may be required to walk up to ½ of a mile to a bus stop.  Bus routes are designed to limit student ride time to no more than 55 minutes one-way if at all possible.
