Dripping Springs ISD provides transportation service for our students to and from their residence according to the residence of record. Dripping Springs ISD has several options to locate your student's bus information:

Smart Tag Parent App: Bus information including routes, times and guidelines is located on the SMART tag Parent App. The SMART tag Parent App is designed to enhance communications between the Transportation Department and the parents of bus riders. Parents may see if their child is on the bus and approximately when the bus will arrive at the stop. Additionally, parents may opt to be notified via text of the estimated bus arrival time to their stops. Parents can click here to download the app.

Contact the Transportation Department:
Please contact our transportation staff by email or calling 512.858.3500 if you have difficulty locating your student's bus information. Please note we expect a high volume of calls during the first week of school.

NOTE: Students requiring special services will be contacted by the DSISD Transportation Department.

• Buses operate only on roads that are properly maintained and considered safe and appropriate for school bus travel. There are roads in Hays County that school buses do not travel on, usually due to road surface, inadequate turnaround or roads that are too narrow.

• Students are required to use their assigned bus stops each morning and afternoon. Students should be at the bus stop 10 minutes prior to the scheduled pick-up time.

• Parents are responsible for supervising their children while waiting at the bus stops and selecting their children's walking route to and from bus stops.

• Pre-K - 2nd grade students shall be met at bus door in the afternoon by parent or designee.

• Bus drivers cannot change bus routes or designated stops without authorization from the Transportation Department.
