Bus stops will be located on primary residential streets only. Each of our bus stops are designed after careful study of demographics, walking distances to stops and ridership in your area. The overall safety of stop placement is the most important factor considered.

Elementary students may be required to walk up to .2 of a mile (two long blocks) to a bus stop. Secondary students may be required to walk up to .4 of a mile (four long blocks).

All Students who ride a school bus to school must be at their bus stop at least 5-7 minutes before the scheduled stop time. When the bus arrives at the stop, it is NOT REQUIRED to wait for students who are not standing at the stop. This especially includes students that wait inside a house or in a vehicle until the bus arrives. Birdville ISD drivers are not allowed to stop a bus for any student...other than at a scheduled stop. All school buses are on a set schedule. Waiting unnecessarily at any stop causes the bus to run late for other students.
