As school assignments start arriving in the mail, Seattle Public Schools has released its transportation zone plan for bus and walk zones for the 2011-12 school year.
From the SPS website:
In the new transportation plan, transportation eligibility for attendance area elementary and K-8 students will be based on transportation zones.
Students within the transportation zone and outside the walk zone for a school will be eligible for District-provided transportation.
Students outside their immediate transportation zone, but within their extended intermediary boundary, can walk to an attendance area school for bus pick-up if they live within a safe walk zone (up to one mile). Otherwise, they walk up to a 1/2 mile to a regular neighborhood stop. This is a temporary option to extend transportation for two (2) years (2011-12 & 2012-13).
- Transportation Zones will include the entire attendance area of a school
- Transportation Zones will extend to areas within a 1.25 mile radius from the school and within the middle school service area
- Walk zones to schools will still apply.
Here are transportation maps for schools with boundaries in the Greenwood-Phinney area.
