With the continual down trend of available qualified school bus drivers, the Hawai‘i State Department of Education (Department) has continued to partner with the four counties in a collaborative effort to provide transportation options for HIDOE students. The EXPRESS program–which stands for 扩大乘客量以教育学校学生—was piloted in the 2022–23 school year to help mitigate the impacts of the ongoing national school bus driver shortage. Effective school year 2025-2026, EXPRESS will extend availability to students attending middle and/or intermediate schools statewide.
资格
免费县通行证申请人资格的重要更新:
- 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 14, 2025, and close on May 12, 2026.
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), all bus pass requests must be submitted using the School Bus Application form (ST-70) and completed MV-1 form. For assistance with the county bus pass process, please contact your complex area MVA liaison.
申请流程
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.
