School transportation on Your Schedule for Kids’ Programs and Schools
If your child participates in after-school activities, bus transportation home may be limited or unavailable. If your child attends a private school, bus transportation may not be an option. If your child wants to participate in summer camps or athletic programs, transportation can be almost impossible. For kids’ programs and schools, RMTD offers children ages 5 and up an alternative: curb-to-curb transportation to and from school, after-school activities, or summer programs.
If transportation challenges are getting in the way of your child/ren’s social or educational opportunities, learn more about RMTD‘s transportation programs for kids.
