🚍☀️ 2026-2027 Routes ☀️🚍
Get ready for an amazing school year! Atlanta Public Schools is excited to announce that the 2026-2027 Bus Routes will be available online for families to review Wednesday, July 15th, 2026.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to use the Bus Routes page to view transportation schedules based on your student’s assigned summer program and host site.
What This Means for Families
As routes are updated, some families may experience changes including:
- Adjustments to bus routes serving certain streets and/or neighborhoods.
- Changes to student pick-up and drop-off locations.
- Changes to pick-up and drop-off times.
While some routes may remain the same, others may be modified as we finalize transportation plans for the new school year.
What Parents/Guardians Should Know
- Families of students receiving Specialized Transportation Services will begin receiving phone calls with updated bus information at least two weeks prior to Day One.
- Parents/guardians are encouraged to review their student’s transportation information regularly, as route updates may continue through Day One.
- Families should register for the Here Comes the Bus app to receive the most up-to-date transportation notifications directly to their smartphone.
We appreciate your patience and partnership as we work to provide safe, reliable, and efficient transportation services for all APS students.

📌 Bus Stop Guidelines
✔️ Morning Pickup: Students should arrive at their designated bus stop at least 10 minutes prior to the scheduled pickup time.
✔️ Afternoon Drop-off: PM stop times may vary a little depending on when your child’s school is dismissed. Elementary schools usually take about 10–15 minutes to get everyone loaded before the bus leaves, while middle and high schools normally take about 5–10 minutes.
