The transportation department is working through the kinks with its new My Ride bus routing software, including improving bus timings. Please note that the software has a Bus Location feature, but enabling it would require additional equipment on each bus. The district is assessing the suitability and effectiveness of the new software during this academic year to determine if additional taxpayer funds should be invested in tracking individual buses and student onboarding and offboarding. We appreciate your patience as we transition to the new system, work to improve bus timings, and explore the system's features. Instructions on using My Ride to obtain bus route information is at https://www.bps-ok.org/page/district-transportation

Classes resume today, 8/15/2024. Please note that our new scheduling software has most routes starting 15-20 minutes earlier than in the past. Parents can look up a student's bus route with MyRide; see https://www.bps-ok.org/page/district-transportation
