The 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 학교 학생 교육을 위한 승차 확대—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 2026-27, 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.
자격
무료 카운티 패스 신청자를 위한 중요 자격 업데이트:
- 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.
For students attending a Kaiapuni program, please email [email protected] with the following information:
- Student name;
- HIDOE Student ID number (10-digits); and
- school.
These requests must be reviewed on a manual basis due to distance from attending school.
신청 절차
