Transportation Services
The New Haven Board of Education transportation department’s number one goal is to provide safe reliable school bus service to all our students.
We currently provide transportation to 17,804 students. Of that number, 1,964 are transported from 23 towns to New Haven magnet schools.
We operate 350 buses daily and travel 19,240 miles each day.
For Suburban Students
Transportation to New Haven Interdistrict Magnet Schools is available free of charge to the following towns:
In an effort to accommodate all students and to keep within time restraints, bus stops will be located within a three-block radius of your home. In some cases, the transportation time can exceed an hour each way, but safety will always be the number one priority.
Procedures for School Closings/Delays
- Tune in to WTNH or WTNH.com for the latest closings and delays.
- If New Haven Interdistrict Magnet Schools are open and your town’s school district has closed, NO AM TRANSPORTATION to New Haven from your town will be provided.
- If New Haven Interdistrict Magnet Schools are on a delay, then there is a delay to New Haven-based on the New Haven delay time. If there is a discrepancy between New Haven and your town’s delay time, New Haven’s delay time will prevail.
- If New Haven Interdistrict Magnet Schools are not on a delay and your town is delayed, NO AM TRANSPORTATION will be provided on that day for that town.
