What is the maximum time allowed for a student on a school bus to travel to and from school?
There is no restriction, other than what is on a student’s IEP, to the amount of time a student may spend on the bus. However, the Office of Pupil Transportation attempts to provide all students who attend a school in the same borough in which they live with a ride shorter than 90 minutes each way. For the majority of students, especially those who live closest to the schools they attend, the amount of time will be less.
