Mission
To provide safe, efficient, and professional transportation service in support of the district’s vision.
Alvin ISD is leading the way with more than 4,000 staff members and a fleet of 350+ buses and support vehicles. The transportation department serves more than 12,000 students every day over a 250 square-mile area.
Updated Bus Routes
2024 - 2025 Alvin ISD bus routes will not be finalized until a week before school starts and are subject to change frequently. There will be some changes to routes and stops for next school year. Bus routes and stops are designed to operate as efficiently as possible while still meeting the needs of the students. Students may be required to walk up to .50 mile to their nearest bus stop location. Please check back often for route number and stop location updates. If you are an eligible bus rider that is either new or has had a change of address, please reach out to your child's campus and ask the registrar to input a request for transportation for your student. These items should be completed no later than August 1st. Once the “verification” has been completed, the registrar will assist with ensuring your child is registered for bus transportation. If your child will be a bus rider, you will receive the route information and approximate pick up times through your skyward account and Stopfinder. Please be looking for an e-mail from Stopfinder in order to monitor your child's bus service information in late July or early August. Also, please monitor your student’s skyward account for transportation information as well.
If you have any questions, please call 281-245-3101.
Alvin ISD Announces New Stopfinder Transportation App
Beginning with the 2024-2025 school year, Alvin ISD will be using the Stopfinder app for students who utilize Alvin ISD transportation to and from school. The app allows parents and guardians to track their child’s school bus in real-time.
The app is secured and protected and also serves as a two-way communication tool, allowing parents to quickly and easily communicate with district transportation officials and receive real-time notifications. Notifications can be focused on specific users based on their child’s bus route. For example, if a road is closed, causing a bus to be late picking up or dropping off children, only parents and guardians of students on those specific routes will be notified.
The Alvin ISD Transportation Department will send invites 2 weeks prior to the start of school to family members of students who ride the bus to and from school.
The app can be downloaded from the App Store and Google Play Store.
For more information on how Stopfinder works, take a look at this brief 30-second informational video. More information on Stopfinder is also available on their website.
