The school sites, for High School ESL students that are eligible for Springs Transit services, should send a request for bus passes to the Director of Transportation.  Requests will contain the student’s full name and address and the number of bus passes required.  Once received by Transportation it will take approximately 7 school days to process the request and have bus passes available for pick-up.
