Alternative Transportation

Alternative Transportation

Alternative pick up/drop off transportation to and from daycare provider locations is available before and after school. Providers must reside within the “home” boundaries of your child’s school and located in an area that qualifies for transportation.

Conditions of participation:

  • The residence of the child care provider must be within walking distance, with no intervening IDOT safety hazard areas, of the bus route serving the child's school.
  • No deviation shall be required in the established bus routing.
  • Participation shall be contingent upon availability of space on the bus route.
  • Parent(s) or legal guardian(s) must sign the “Waiver and Release of All Claims” form.
  • Participation in this program is contingent upon five-days-per-week participation for a minimum period of one semester.
  • Participation in the program will terminate in the event that any false or misleading information is provided on this form.

To apply electronically, access the Alternative Location Form here, or go to your local school for an application form; applications are available district wide.

Forms must be completed and returned to your child’s home school or the transportation office located in the Education Center at 901 S 4th St, DeKalb, IL 60115.

Once approved, approval notification and busing information will be sent out within 3 - 5 business days.
