Transportation

The Jamesville-DeWitt Central School District Transportation Department takes great pride in being the first stop on students’ path to success. J-D buses transport students to and from school, field trips and athletic events. The department serves approximately 2,700 public and private school students, traveling a total of nearly 500,000 miles annually.

J-D buses are dispatched in 28 routes serving students throughout the 25.3 square-mile school district, plus four routes to stops outside the district.

The J-D Transportation Department has an excellent safety record. The New York State Department of Transportation inspects each school bus twice during the year. For the 2022-23 school year, J-D buses had a 100% passing rate.
