Welcome to the North Kingstown School Department Transportation Department

Welcome to the North Kingstown School Department Transportation Department. Our department is responsible for developing safe and efficient bus routes and schedules for eligible students throughout the district.

Please remember that posted bus stop times are approximate. Traffic conditions, road construction, weather, mechanical issues, and other unforeseen circumstances may occasionally cause buses to arrive earlier or later than scheduled. We recommend that students arrive at their assigned bus stop at least ten (10) minutes before their scheduled pickup time.

For the safety of our youngest students, Kindergarten through Grade 2 students will not be released from the bus unless a parent, guardian, or designated adult is present at the assigned bus stop. If no authorized adult is present, the student will be returned to their elementary school, and the parent or emergency contact will be notified to arrange pickup. We strongly encourage all elementary students to be met at the bus stop whenever possible.

Our Mission

The mission of the North Kingstown School Department Transportation Department is to provide every eligible student with safe, reliable, efficient, and courteous transportation to and from school each day.

We recognize that parents place their trust in us every time a child boards one of our school buses. That responsibility is one we take seriously. Our goal is to provide the safest transportation system possible while delivering exceptional customer service to our students, families, and schools.

About Our Department

Each school day, the North Kingstown Transportation Department safely transports more than 3,000 students while traveling approximately 600,000 miles each year throughout our 59-square-mile community.

Our team of professional school bus drivers, monitors, mechanics, and transportation staff are highly trained, experienced, and committed to providing dependable transportation services for every eligible student.

School buses remain the safest form of ground transportation available for children, and we are proud to play an important role in supporting the educational success of our students by ensuring they arrive safely to and from school each day.
