Transportation Department
Committed to providing safe and efficient student transportation in a caring and positive environment.
Latest Information & Reminders
It is important for both you and your student to memorize:
- Your bus route number,
- Your bus stop location, and
- Your regular pickup and drop-off times.
Don't forget to tell this info to the person you have designated to meet your child.
Students who have not utilized transportation for 20 days total will be marked inactive in the SMART tag system. If this occurs, please contact us to reactivate your students.
Please be sure to have your student waiting at their bus stop 5 minutes prior to the listed stop time. The text alerts that are auto-generated are not always accurate due to factors that include construction delays, and tablet connection issues. If dispatch is aware of a late bus, they will send out a push-notification to all families on the route that have signed up for alerts.
NTPS uses SMART tag for schedules & rider tracking
NTPS Transportation uses the SMART tag system, where students use an ID card to scan off and on the bus.
Activate your SMART tag guardian account to check route times, receive app notifications about a late bus, loading, and unloading, and more! Questions? See the Smart Tag page for a FAQ

We require all riders to register. After registration, your student's route information will be posted in the SMART tag app, and they may begin riding the bus.
