EXPRESS郡バスパスプログラム

The Hawaii State Department of Education (Department) continues to partner with the four counties in a collaborative effort to provide transportation options for HIDOE students. 

The EXPRESS program–which stands for 学校での生徒教育のために乗車人数を拡大—was piloted in the 2022–23 school year to help mitigate the impacts of the ongoing national school bus driver shortage. Extending to school year 2026-2027, EXPRESS will continue availability to students attending middle and/or intermediate and high schools statewide.

The Department has extended this transportation option as a courtesy to support families; however, it is not a mandated service.  

資格

無料の郡パス申請者のための重要な資格の更新:

  • Be a Hawaiʻi public school student attending middle and/or intermediate or high school with an active HIDOE ID number; and
  • Attend their home school (no Geographical Exemptions); and
  • Reside 1.5 miles or more from their home school in their public school attendance area.  Walkzone is calculated from the recorded home address in Infinite Campus to the nearest public access for the school campus (not from the main office).

The application period will open on July 13, 2026, and close on April 30, 2027. 

If your child has an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or Modified Plan (MP) that includes transportation as a related service, please contact your district educational specialist (DES) for more information.

For students eligible under the McKinney-Vento Act (MVA), do not apply for an EXPRESS pass.  All bus pass requests must be submitted using the School Bus Application form (ST-70), along with a completed, approved MV-1 form. For assistance with this process, please contact your complex area MVA liaison.  See complex area directory here.

For students attending a Kaiapuni program, please email [email protected] with the following information:  

  • Student Name; 
  • DOE Student ID number (10-digits); and
  • School.

These requests must be reviewed on a manual basis due to distance from attending school.

申請手続き

Your student may only use one transportation option at a time. 

If your student has an existing regular school bus pass, they will have to discontinue this service if they choose to apply for an EXPRESS pass. EXPRESS applications will be approved on an annual basis. Please choose the right option for your student as they cannot change their pass type for the remainder of the year. 

For families that do not meet the transportation eligibility criteria, please see your county’s bus agencies for more information on purchasing a youth pass.
