Dear Students and Families,
As we gear up for the 2024-2025 school year, we are committed to ensuring that your transportation needs are met with excellence. We hope you are enjoying a fantastic summer break and are eagerly looking forward to the new school year.
We urge you to take a moment to review the updates on the parent portal, as significant changes to routes, timings, and stop locations have been made. We understand that these changes may raise questions, and we encourage you to reach out to the office for any assistance you may need.
For all full-time vocational School Students, it is crucial to plan to be at your bus stops 15-20 minutes before pick-up time until all routes have been finalized with accurate times.
We are dedicated to providing safe and reliable transportation for the upcoming school year, and we greatly appreciate your cooperation.
Warm regards,
Transportation Staff at FRHSD
According to state law (New Jersey Administrative Code 6A:27-1.2), students are eligible to receive transportation to/from school as follows:
"Transportation shall be provided to public school students who reside remote from their assigned school of attendance…and special education students who reside remote from their assigned school or who require transportation services in accordance with their Individualized Education Program (IEP)
- The words “remote from the school of attendance” shall mean beyond two and one-half miles for high school students…and beyond two miles for elementary school students.
- For the purpose of determining eligibility for student transportation, measurement shall be made by the shortest route along public roadways or public walkways from the entrance of the student’s residence nearest such public roadway or public walkway to the nearest public entrance of the school which the student attends."
In essence, New Jersey states that the school district is not required to provide transportation to students residing less than 2.5 miles from school. The Freehold Regional High School District recently underwent an evaluation of its transportation operation. This study reviewed the scope and approach to providing transportation for the more than 10,000 high school students in the district’s footprint. As a result of this study, routes and bus stops have been consolidated for peak efficiency all while maintaining safety standards. Please review the FAQ and associated documents for additional information.
We appreciate your cooperation and patience.
