Routing for the over 8000 students in Portage Township Schools is accomplished using a computerized routing system. All students are assigned a route and stop based on their home address. Drivers are required to pick-up and drop-off students at their assigned stops only. These routes are designed to use the resources efficiently; therefore there is not always available space for additional students to ride home with another student. These requests, while strongly discouraged, must be put in writing to the building principal for approval.

Requests for bus stop changes may be made through the transportation router. Please understand that it is not possible to stop in front of every students home. We design our routes to have neighborhood stops that best serve all of the students in a neighborhood.
