Transportation
The Rockdale ISD Transportation Department is responsible for setting bus routes and schedules, and offering transportation to and from school and to extra-curricular activities for all RISD students.
Bus Passes
Bus passes will not be available this year and parents may not call campuses to change the drop off location. Parents are asked to indicate a regular drop off location and families need to make arrangements for children to be picked up from school or for someone to be at their assigned location to receive them.
SMART Tag
Our schools will soon be launching SMART tag which will change how students ride the bus. These exciting changes will improve student safety and security while riding our buses. SMART tag is a student ridership authorization solution, which, simply put, will ensure your child is getting on the right bus and off at the right stop.

Bus Expectations
Transportation expectations can be found in the RISD Student Handbook (Spanish) beginning on Page 111.
Video/Audio Monitoring
RISD Buses are equipped with video and audio monitoring systems, which will be used when students are transported. Recorded video and audio recordings will be used to enforce discipline.
Individuals are reminded that Section 37.126 of the Texas Education Code states it is an offense to intentionally disrupt, prevent, or interfere with the lawful transportation of children.
If you have any questions for transportation, you may contact Robert Hunter at rhunter@rockdaleisd.net or 512-430-6020, ext 1212.
