Recent ActivityOur Mission
The Transportation Department of Martin County School District will provide safe, reliable, caring, and courteous services to students, the school system and the community through the cooperative efforts of well-trained dedicated professionals.
- All bus routes are subject to change due to student enrollment and scheduled pick up times.
- If you do not see a time for a morning or afternoon stop, please check other bus routes serving the school your child attends. Due to scheduling, some students are picked up by one bus in the morning and dropped off by another in the afternoon.
- Please Note: Students are expected to be at the stop 5 minutes prior to the scheduled arrival time. In accordance with Florida Statutes parents must arrange for supervision at the bus stop.
- Request for a bus stop change must be completed on a Form A through your child’s school office.
- All students must have a signed bus registration card from their parents turned in to their bus driver. The information on these cards is very important to the Bus Driver and Transportation Department in case of an emergency.
- If your child does not ride the bus regularly, please check with the school to verify pick up times and location.
- Other questions may be directed to Martin County Transportation Department Office at 772-219-1287 ext 100.
We strive at Martin County School District Transportation Department to keep our web site updated in a timely fashion. Our stops are updated as they are changed. The time will vary due to the number of students that are traveling on a given day. Thank you for your patience and time.

Links Avoid the Danger Zones! School Bus Safety! To be safe when traveling to and from school, follow these simple safety rules: AT THE BUS STOP: Always walk to the bus stop. Never run. Walk on the sidewalk. If there is no sidewalk, walk on the left facing traffic. Always go to the bus stop about five minutes before the bus is scheduled to arrive. While at the bus stop, wait in a safe place away from the road. Do not run and play while waiting. Never speak to strangers at the bus stop and never get into a car with a stranger. Always go straight home and tell you parents if a stranger tries to talk to you or pick you up. Wait for the bus to arrive, watch for red flashing lights and the stop sign to be extended, and cross only when all traffic has stopped. Look left, right, and left again before crossing. ON THE BUS: Go directly to a seat. Remain seated and facing forward for the entire ride. Talk quietly (so the driver will not be distracted). If you need to talk to the bus driver: wait for the bus to stop, raise your hand, and call the driver's name. Never throw things on the bus or out the windows. Never play with the emergency exits. Keep the aisles clear at all times. If there is an emergency, listen to the driver and follow instructions. EXIT THE BUS: When getting off the bus make sure you walk (not run) three more steps away from the door. This is the best place to be around a bus. Stay away from the bus wheels and watch out for moving cars! Once you get off the bus, go straight home so an adult will know where you are. Only get on and off the bus at your designated stop. If you need to get off the bus somewhere else, you will need to have a note from your parents. If you leave something on the bus, never return to the bus to get it. The driver may not see you come back and they may begin moving the bus. Also, if you drop something near the bus, tell the bus driver before you attempt to pick it up, so they will know where you are. Always remain 10 steps away from the bus to be out of the "Danger Zone" and where the driver can see you. Always cross the street in front of the bus. Never go behind the bus. |
