• Bus Stop Request Form (for parents): This is for families that do not have a bus stop assigned to their address. See the frequently asked questions and parent handbook for more details. 

For a new stop to be considered for the new school year requests must be reviewed by June 1. Any request after June 1 will be reviewed and considered at a later date.

• Temporary Rider Request Form” This is for families that want to use a bus stop other that the one assigned to their home address (such as a daycare and duel households). These must be requested every school year, they do not automatically roll over. See the frequently asked questionsand parent handbook for more details. 

At the beginning of the school year, the Transportation Department begins processing Temporary Rider Permit requests on October 1 in the order the forms are received. This will allow all routes to stabilize for a better count of available seats for students requesting temporary riding privileges.

Thank you for your patience as the department works through this process in order to best serve our students.

Beginning in the 2021-22 school year, RSD will use a new parent app, Stopfinder. The all-in-one app allows parents and guardians to have the most accurate information about their students’ bus schedules at any time, from anywhere. To learn more about Stopfinder, go to Parent Engagement App for School Bus Route & Stop Information or watch this video: Stopfinder 

You can also create GeoAlerts for your student, which will notify you when the bus has arrived or departed from any location on your student’s route.

The parent/guardian email addresses currently on file with the district will be used for Stopfinder setup. Please make sure your email address is updated in ParentVUE. 

Stopfinder can be downloaded for free from the Apple App store or Google Play. Stopfinder will require an invite and registration through the district prior to accessing your student’s transportation schedule. You should have received a Stopfinder invitation at the start of the school year. 

If you have issues with the app, please contact customer service at support@transfinder.com or by calling 888-427-2403.
