NOTTINGHAM, MD—Baltimore County Public Schools officials have launched a new pilot program aimed at easing recent woes regarding transportation to and from schools in the northeastern part of the county.

To increase route efficiency and improve service to families, beginning in the 2022-2023 school year, BCPS is requiring all students eligible for transportation in the Northeast Area to register for service to and from school.

School principals from participating schools communicated with families via e-mail on Friday, July 15, 2022, and will follow up directly with families to ensure all students have the opportunity to register.

Families without students attending the Northeast Area schools listed below are not part of the pilot program and do not need to register for transportation for the 2022-2023 school year.

Northeast Area schools were selected for the pilot based on school year 2021-2022 transportation data.

The Office of Transportation will provide regular updates to Team BCPS in our efforts to ensure safe and reliable transportation to families.
