Bus Transportation

HELPFUL LINKS

A Tradition of Excellence ~

Maconaquah Schools Transportation Department consists of 48 active employees who utilize a fleet of 48 vehicles to transport our students to and from school. On any given morning or afternoon, we transport approximately 75% of our student body.

Each school year, we provide extra-curricular transportation for our athletes, musicians, and academic students. Our drivers are conscientious professionals who go above and beyond to ensure the safety of their passengers and the motorists with whom they share the road.

ZONAR Z PASS SYSTEM

Maconaquah School Corporation has implemented the use of the Zonar Z Pass system to be more accountable for where our bus riders are.

Every student at Maconaquah is issued a student ID that doubles as their bus pass.

Students are required to scan on and off the bus. The information will be logged in our system showing when and where students scanned on/off the bus.

As their student ID, this card is also used for lunch and library purposes.
