Transportation

Information for the 2025-26 School Year:

Students attending Penn Hills Elementary, Linton Middle School or Penn Hills Senior High School: All students in grades K-12 who reside within the Penn Hills School District's borders and attend one of the district's schools will ride a district bus, operated by Krise Transportation.

Krise Transportation has been contracted to provide transportation for Penn Hills students, including charter, parochial, and non-public students, who can show proof of Penn Hills residency (two utility bills and a driver's license). Krise operations are monitored by PHSD Administration, and the Penn Hills School District has a shared commitment to safe pupil transportation. We accomplish this by adhering to district policies as well as the Pennsylvania Department of Education's guidelines for student transportation. Bus stops are community gathering places that are located in the most secure areas possible. Parents/guardians are responsible for getting their student(s) to and from the bus stop in the morning and afternoon.

Students returning to the same Charter, Parochial or Non-Public School: To receive transportation through the Penn Hills School District, students who attend charter, parochial, or non-public schools must complete a Request for Transportation form each school year and for each student.

Students changing school buildings to a Charter, Parochial or Non-Public School and students newly enrolling in a Charter, Parochial or Non-Public School: To receive transportation through the Penn Hills School District, students who attend charter, parochial, or non-public schools must register with the district by contacting one of the PHSD registration offices at 412-793-7000 at ext 7113, 6124 or ext 5284. Once registered, a Request for Transportation Form must be submitted for each student.

Please be advised that all busses are equipped with video and audio recording equipment. Penn Hills School District
