Transportation

The Foresthill Union School District's Transportation Plan for the 2025/26 school year outlines its commitment to providing safe and equitable home-to-school transportation through a renewed agreement with Mid-Placer Transportation. The plan prioritizes transportation for students in transitional kindergarten through sixth grade and for low-income students. It also ensures that students with disabilities and homeless youth have access to transportation services as outlined in their Individualized Education Plans (IEP) or 504 Accommodation Plans. Mid-Placer Transportation will provide home-to-school transportation at no cost to unduplicated pupils, further supporting consistent attendance and reducing tardiness.

The plan was developed with input from classified staff, teachers, school administrators, local transit authorities, air quality agencies, parents, and students.

Transportation Plan 2025-2026

Bussing Has returned!

For morning riders, the early route will be dropped off at FDS and will join the Kids Club Before-School Program. To maintain appropriate staffing ratios, we remind you to complete the required ELOP/Kids Club Registration form and submit your monthly calendar of participation to avoid being charged a drop-in fee! Signing up to ride the bus is simple, go to www.midplacer.com and click on the bus application button. Bus pass fees are waived or reduced for families who qualify, and families with more than one student bus rider are eligible for multiple rider discounts.

If you have questions, the Mid-Placer Transportation Team is available to help! Because the Mid-Placer system handles all aspects of student bussing, our district and school office personnel will be unable to answer your bussing questions. Speak with your children about representing your family and our school district well by starting and ending the day with a pleasant greeting to your bus drivers and by always behaving respectfully, responsibly, and safely when riding the bus. Please also read the FUSD Board Policy 5131.1 and Administrative Regulation 5131.1 for information on student conduct on the bus. Drop-Off and Pick-Up Changes - Because bussing services are resuming, the FDS bus circle will no longer be available to vehicles for drop-off and pick-up purposes. Please be patient and kind as we adjust to these changes.

For any questions about bussing, please call Mid-Placer. (530) 823-4820

We are working hard to ensure our students make it to school safely and on time for every school day. Stay tuned as we continue to work on School Transportation.
