Transportation

Parent Responsibility Zone

The Parent Responsibility Zone is 1.5 miles for elementary school and 2 miles for middle school and high school. If you live within these zones, you are responsible for providing transportation for your student(s). Please see policies, SS 3.400 , SS 3.402, and SS 3.403 for board policies regarding transportation.

Find your bus or route information

Utilize our parent bus weblink tool. Please reach out to your school's bus administrator if there is an error or you are experiencing problems with the application.

All bus routes are scheduled to arrive prior to the bell time allowing students to be class ready for the instructional day to begin when the bell rings. Please arrive at the stop 5 minutes prior to scheduled pickup times. Pick-up and drop-off times are approximate and can vary due to factors outside the bus driver’s control, such as school arrival/dismissal procedures, traffic, and weather.

PLEASE NOTE/ATTENTION:  Route times are subject to change especially during the first few weeks of the school year, due to ridership and route adjustments. New students and students whose address has changed since last year must verify transportation eligibility at their assigned school.

NEW BusZone Tracking App

In previous years, GMSD utilized the Durham Bus Tracker App. This app is no longer active, and we have moved to the new tracking platform "BusZone" tracking app. In BusZone, you must create a zone (50 to 500 yards), and you will get a notification when the bus enters the zone.

To set up your account in our new platform, you will need these items:

1. School/GMSD's access code: 4096GSCMC
2. Student ID number (same as their lunch number; however, enter 796 in front of the Student ID number, e.g. 796XXXXX)
3. Student's five-digit bus number (same as the route number)
