** Transportation Information **
Transportation is the responsibility of your local school district. Upon enrollment, your student's information is sent automatically to your local school district's transportation office, which coordinates and oversees all bus routes and aide-in-lieu.

Residents of Franklin Township
Your local school district provides a school bus to and from TEECS. You will receive your bus pass directly from their transportation department. Transportation is the responsibility of the parent/guardian until the bus pass is received.

Residents of North Brunswick
TEECS has coordinated with the Education Services Commission of New Jersey (ESCNJ) to provide busing for North Brunswick residents at a fee. Parents that opt in to use busing will be responsible for paying this fee to TEECS through their Community Pass account. You will receive your bus pass directly from ESCNJ. Transportation is the responsibility of the parent/guardian until the bus pass is received.
All North Brunswick parents, regardless of whether you opt in to use the bus or not, will receive aid-in-lieu of transportation from the North Brunswick Board of Education. Parents can use these funds towards the cost of transportation, however, you will also be responsible for the difference as the aide-in-lieu (an amount set by the state of New Jersey) will not be enough to cover the full amount.
More information will be provided as the 2025-2026 school year approaches.
