Transportation

Bus transportation is available from some cities and towns for children ages 5 and up.

In towns that offer busing, families must fill out paperwork before the first day of school.

To ride the bus from eligible towns EXCEPT Providence and Lincoln:

• Register at the RIDE Website.
• Complete this form to request transportation. The form must be on file with the Providence School Department by July 31.
• If you have problems, call the statewide office at 401-222-5024.
• Deadline for registration is July 31. Late registrations will receive the closest point of pick-up or a depot stop location for a temporary bus stop, with permanent bus stop information assigned by September 17.
• If you are new to the system, you will receive information about how the transportation system works after you register.
• The state will send bus assignments to parents by the end of August. Only families who register will get assignments.

Statewide has been working on Fall 2022-23 school year transportation. Complete this form before July 30.
