Moving RPS Students to Greatness
The Department of Transportation operates on the authority of Federal and State laws, as well as directives from the Virginia Board of Education and the Richmond School Board.
The primary mission of the Department of Pupil Transportation is to provide daily transportation from students' homes to schools within the Richmond Public Schools' system.
The department also provides auxiliary transportation for students from schools to various other sites, including vocational and exceptional education centers, sports activities, and off campus field trips.
Two-thirds of the entire RPS population is transported daily on buses managed by the Department of Pupil Transportation.
