The Transportation Department is responsible for arranging bus schedules and coordinating transportation for eligible Reading School District students. The department also handles transportation requests for student field trips and activities. The Reading School District provides transportation with two providers, Zum and Durham.

The bus routes for the 2024-2025 school year are now available to view. Click the "Find My Bus" button to find your student's route and transportation provider.
