Greetings from TPS Transportation! We are excited about the new school year and are ready to get our buses back on the road. All our state safety inspections and regular maintenance jobs have been completed. Our mechanics put in many hours all summer long to ensure that our equipment is safe and in good shape to get the students to school. Thanks to them and to our excellent group of drivers, we were able to complete the entire 2023-24 school year accident free!
In just a few days, you will see the big yellow buses in your neighborhoods again. Please remember to follow all bus safety laws and STOP FOR THE REDS! Yellow flashing lights indicate that the bus is going to stop within a few hundred feet, and red flashing lights indicate that students are actively loading or unloading. Our drivers are extremely focused on getting their precious cargo delivered safely and efficiently. Please help them accomplish this by practicing safe driving practices around the buses.
All the routes have been organized and updated for the new school year. Please contact the Transportation Office at 918-458-4168 for bus stop locations and times. Contact us as soon as possible to avoid the rush at the beginning of school. The TPS website also has forms on our Transportation page that will be helpful to you: information flyers, bus rider handbooks, Oklahoma stop arm laws, severe weather safe practices, and bus rider contracts are all available.
Thank you for your trust and support, and let’s have another great year!
Paul Martin
Director of Transportation
