Dear NYC Principals and Administrators,

Please see below for important information from the Office of Pupil Transportation.
  • The calendar application for the 2022-2023 school year is open on the website here. Please update half days and no service days. All changes for September should be done as soon as possible. Make sure to update both the general and special education calendars if your school receives both types of service.
  • Tzom Gedaliah is Wednesday, September 28. If your school will be having a half service day then, please indicate that on the calendar now.
  • If your school has a regular early dismissal on Fridays, please indicate that on the calendar as a half day so that your school buses are not assigned on field trips.
  • Non-Public schools are allocated 180 days of General Education (GE) busing by New York State law. Within the 180 allocated days you may choose to have service for five Alternate Days. Alternate Days are days when busing is available to Non-Public schools when the DOE schools are closed. There is no limit to SE (door to door) busing.
  • Curb to School (SE) busing can begin as early as September 1, and Stop to School (GE) busing can begin as early as September 6. For both instances, your calendar must reflect the need for services. Keep in mind that if you request general education busing on September 6 and 7, those are considered alternate dates of which you are allowed up to five for the school year. Busing for public schools begins on September 8.
  • Please review the calendar(s) at the end of each month for the following month’s service.
  • After 4 PM reimbursement can begin on September 6, 2022. Please update the GE calendar. Please keep in mind that September 6 and 7 are alternate days. Calendars must be reviewed monthly before you submit an invoice. If the count of calendar days and days on the invoices do not match, reimbursement will be delayed.
It is important that the calendars be updated as soon as possible. Please update the calendar(s) even if your school does not have busing and only uses MetroCards. All schools need to complete this task.

As always, feel free to reach out to [email protected] with any questions.
