Alternate Transportation Request

The Department of Recreation, Parks, and Cultural Activities has partnered with the ACPS Transportation Office to enable parents and guardians to submit alternative transportation requests using the Alternate Transportation Request Form.

What Is Alternate Transportation?

Alternate Transportation is defined as "transportation to/from a location that is not the bus stop established based on the student’s home address." Examples include a recreation center or a family member’s residence.

Additional Information and How To Request Alternate Transportation

The Alternate Transportation request form and instructions will be available on the ACPS Transportation website starting July 22, 2024. Here are the key points to note:

Request Location:

• Must be within the attendance area of the student’s assigned school.
• Alternatively, it can be to a pre-planned location for the 2024–25 school year.
• Requests for transportation to a recreation center outside of the student’s attendance area will be limited to the pre-planned bus stops listed below.

Submission:

• The Alternate Transportation request form can be submitted to the school registrar/ administrative team at any time during the school year beginning July 22, 2024.

Submission Deadlines:

• General deadline: August 4, 2024.
• No changes will be reviewed from August 12-19, 2024, to ensure timely processing of the transportation letters to families.

Review Process:

• Each request is for an individual student and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
• Requests must be approved by the ACPS Transportation Office before transportation can be provided.
• Parents will be notified via email by the student’s assigned homeschool regarding the decision on the request.

Contact Information:

• If you have any transportation-related questions, please email the transportation office at transportation@acps.k12.va.us.
