We believe that the transportation department positively contributes to the education of our student passengers every morning and afternoon. We believe the school bus is an extension of the classroom. Safety is a high priority! Students, parents, teachers, administrators, bus drivers and community members are all responsible for keeping our students safe. We are committed to providing the safest, most consistent and reliable transportation possible. We continuously strive to improve our service to students and parents. Please feel free to call or e-mail us with suggestions on how we can improve our transportation department.

Transportation services are available to all students who live in Thomas County. Sixty-five bus routes are completed each morning and afternoon and approximately 3800 students are transported on Thomas County school buses daily.

To help us keep routes efficient and students safe, we partner with Busology Tech’s school transportation software that supports daily planning and real-time route optimization.

 

Thomas County Schools is offering a new service to help families monitor bus information for their children. Visit the link below to sign up or confirm your information. Then follow the directions below for the Viafy Transportation Software. 

Viafy Log In

Log In
Parents and guardians of students who rode the bus last year and already know their student's ID (lunch number) can now log in to the Viafy parent portal to view bus stop and route information for the 25-26 school year. When logged in, you will see bus information if your child rode the bus last year. If you do not see the bus information, please submit a new request.

Accessing Bus Routes
If your student is new to the district or does not know their student ID/lunch number, you will need to wait until Open House for your school. Once Infinite Campus (IC) is open, and your student has been assigned a student ID, you will be able to log in and view their transportation details.

For information or if you have questions, please contact the Thomas County Schools Transportation Department at 229-227-3187.
