KISD Transportation Services is responsible for providing daily transportation to approximately 12,000 of the 45,000+ enrolled students. Included in this total are approximately 1,000+ special program and special needs students. In addition to this number, approximately 16,300 students are transported for extra-curricular activity trips on a monthly basis. To provide this transportation support, the district has 340 buses and employs almost 350 individuals in the Transportation Services Department. The district consists of over 400 square miles and encompasses four different populated areas (Killeen, Harker Heights, Nolanville, and Fort Hood) and portions of two counties.
To qualify for these services, the student must meet certain criteria and parents must request transportation in Home Access Center. Transportation services are provided for elementary students who reside one or more miles from the home campus and for high school and middle school students who reside two or more miles from the home campus. Transportation services for students with individualized education plans (IEP) are determined based on the special needs requirements of those students.
