Transportation

At Lakeville Area Schools, our goal is to get students safely to and from school each day.
We contract for bus service in partnership with Schmitty and Sons Bus Company, which includes coordinating school bus routes, registering students for school bus service, and transporting over 9,000 students twice every school day.
Lakeville Area Schools provides transportation for special education students, and regular education students who qualify, which includes:
- K-5 students to students who live 0.8 miles or more from their elementary school
- 6-12 students who live 2 miles or more from their secondary school
- Students who live in a designated safety zone
Transportation zones can be found by using the Attendance Area Finder. Please note, the distance is measured by the District GIS system (not Google, Mapquest, etc.) based on the shortest possible route from the intersection of where the buses turn into the school to the farthest edge of a property line.

Pay-to-Ride Option
A pay-to-ride option may be available for parents/guardians of students who don't qualify for transportation. The cost for service, if it is available, is $175 per student, with a cap of $350 per family.
The pay-to-ride option for the 2022-23 school year will open July 1 through August 18 in order for routes to be completed. Registration will reopen on Sept. 8. To register for paid transportation at that time, please visit the School Store within the Infinite Campus Parent Portal.
