Transportation
James C. Adams, Sr.
Transportation Director
Purpose: Jasper
Independent School District Transportation Department is charged
with the responsibility to provide the safest, most cost effective
transportation system for our community. Statistics across the
nation prove that the safest way for a youngster to get to and from
school is on a school bus – even safer than walking or being driven
by parents. The school district is pleased to provide transportation
for its students and solicits your assistance in helping create a
safe, healthy operation.
Responsibility: Our drivers are charged with the
responsibility of transporting the most valuable cargo. The school
bus transportation industry has proven to be the safest mode of
transportation; this is an ongoing effort and must have support from
parents. It is extremely important that parents instruct students in
safety procedures such as going to and from the bus stop in a safe
manner, standing back (away) from traffic, and no horseplay.
Personnel: Not everyone is eligible to transport your child.
JISD drivers must meet rigid criteria such as criminal history
check, drug testing and state, local and in-house training.
Routes: We presently transport 1,425 students per day and
travel approximately 361,000 miles per year. Routes are designed to
service each area of our district, but it is not a door-to-door
service. Twenty-four regular routes and four special needs routes
are operated AM and PM. Eight mid-day routes are also operated
daily. Our Special Needs students are served with buses equipped to
meet their needs.
Informational Items: Most routes will begin in much the same
manner as last year. Changes that are made will be available to you
on this web page as soon as possible. Any questions concerning
routes or pick-up/drop-off times should be directed to the
Transportation Department, 384-2252.
