Seattle Public Schools releases transportation plan

Seattle Public Schools has released its transportation zone plan for bus and walk zones for the 2011-12 school year.

From the SPS website:

In the new transportation plan, transportation eligibility for attendance area elementary and K-8 students will be based on transportation zones.

Students within the transportation zone and outside the walk zone for a school will be eligible for District-provided transportation.

Students outside their immediate transportation zone, but within their extended intermediary boundary, can walk to an attendance area school for bus pick-up if they live within a safe walk zone (up to one mile). Otherwise, they walk up to a 1/2 mile to a regular neighborhood stop. This is a temporary option to extend transportation for two (2) years (2011-12 & 2012-13).

  • Transportation Zones will include the entire attendance area of a school
  • Transportation Zones will extend to areas within a 1.25 mile radius from the school and within the middle school service area
  • Walk zones to schools will still apply.

Here are transportation maps for schools with boundaries in the Wallingford area.

Please see the McDonald PTA page for more information.)

  1. There IS transportation to Samon Bay (“option” school”) for those in the Hamilton zone. Very hard to find on the SPS web page. This: “District provided transportation is provided for those students attending a middle school in their service area or linked service area (Hamilton service area to Salmon Bay…” can be found in the new document entitled “Transportation Service Standards for 2011-12: Approved February 16, 2011 ” on the SPS transportation page.

  2. It is my great pleasure to visit your website and to enjoy your
    excellent post here. I like them very much. I can feel that you paid much
    attention to those articles, as all of them make sense and are very useful.
    Thanks so much for sharing.

  3. I'm glad this article was written. Say what? It seems to be obesity is a bigger problem with kids than some walking a few miles.Would part of an education be to get into the habit……..

  4. That is good for all of the lucky students. The transportation is always a problem with the students over there.
