Transportation

The Estacada Transportation Department is responsible for safely transporting the students to and from school, as well as ensuring the students attend and return from sporting events and field trips. The Estacada Transportation Department strives to support students. Our drivers are the first contact the district has with most students daily. We pride ourselves on learning each student's name. By starting each student's day off with a smile and warm greeting, we hope to set the stage for their day. Transportation is tasked with covering a 750 square mile area. 13 different bus routes are used daily to accomplish this.

Do you have a question or need assistance with your student's transportation or routes?

Give us a call at 503-630-8606. We look forward to assisting you. 

• Please allow additional time for buses during the first days of school as we adjust to routes
