Transportation

To learn everything about riding the bus, please review this transportation guide.
 
The transportation department utilizes Stopfinder to communicate about route changes and delays. With Stopfinder, you will:
  • Know the schedule of your child’s bus

  • Receive push notifications related to your child’s bus schedule and any changes

  • Get real-time information on the location of your child’s bus by creating your own alert zones with GeoAlerts

  • To get connected, the transportation department will send an invitation directly from Stopfinder to the email addresses on file for the student's contacts. If you did not receive an invitation or need help, please send an email to communications@bloomfield.org. 

Transportation Updates 23-24 School Year

Walk Zones

Bloomfield Hills Schools offers bus transportation for students who are residents in our district who attend our schools, with the exception of those within walk zones. Each of our schools has a walk zone - this is an area that is close to the school where transportation is not provided (typically 1.5 miles or less). Students with disabilities may have transportation services as part of their education plan, and the walk zone would not apply. 

Walk Zones for Each School

Crossing Guards

Each of our K-8 schools have a crossing guard present during arrival and dismissal times. Before the year begins, you will receive information from us with drop off and pick up instructions, which will include the location of the crossing guard. 

Bus Routes

For students eligible for bus transportation, route and bus information will be visible in ParentPortal on September 1. In addition, you will also receive an email invitation directly from the Stopfinder app on September 1 to gain access to your account.
