2025-2026 School Year Bus Routes

The bus routes linked below are in PDF format that allows you to download and print or view online. The routes include the AM route order, and the start time for the first stop. PM routes will be run in reverse order, with the last AM stop being the first stop in the afternoon.

For the first few weeks of school we anticipate that the run times for these routes will adjust slightly as we settle into the new school year and determine the actual number of students riding the bus.

For any questions about bus routes, or transportation in general, please contact Dr. Richard Poor, our Director of Finance and Operations at Richard.Poor@tritonschools.org.​
