A SAFE RIDE TO SCHOOL
The Kennewick School District Transportation Department starts each day with one mission: To get your child to and from school safely and reliably. We transport thousands of students to and from school every day. Our bus drivers are specially trained professionals who have your student’s best interest in mind — from morning pick-up until school day’s end.
Find your bus route
Please note that bus routes are continually being updated and you should check back the day before school starts to ensure you have the correct time. Buses may be running later than usual during the first couple of weeks of school while drivers adjust to their routes. Thank you for your patience with our new employees.
