Transportation
Westminster Public Schools is proud to provide free bus transportation for elementary and PK–8 school students who live more than one mile from their assigned neighborhood school, and for middle school and high school students who live more than one and a half miles away. We are committed to ensuring safe, reliable access to school for all eligible students.
Eligibility & Registration
To be considered for Transportation Services, families must complete a Bus Rider Registration Form each school year.
WPS works to accommodate as many eligible riders as possible. However, transportation availability can change based on need and staffing.
Please note:
- Routes may be adjusted based on driver availability.
- Some stops or routes may be consolidated or removed.
- Bus capacity may limit the number of students we are able to serve.
Families are encouraged to consider alternate transportation if it is practical for them.
RTD Zero Fare for Youth
RTD offers free rides to youth through its Zero Fare for Youth program.
- Students under 19 years of age can ride RTD at no cost.
- A student ID is required to access the free fare.
This can be a helpful option for families, especially when district bus capacity is limited.
