Transportation Options
For schools and programs which will not receive bus service due to inclement weather, families have the following two transportation options available:
OPTION 1: You may elect to transport your child yourself and receive reimbursement from the BSD Transportation Department for mileage (at the district rate) to and from the program/school.
OPTION 2: You may choose instead to contact Flat Cab (503-970-0033) and request that they transport your child. You need to ask for a district-approved driver. This cab company is the only company with arrangements to transport BSD students. BSD will reimburse the parent for the cab fare when presented with a receipt. A receipt can be obtained from the driver.
