Transportation
Welcome to the Newark City Schools Transportation webpage.
The Newark City Schools bus fleet serves more than 3,900 public and private school students and travels more than 2,400 miles each day.
Transportation services are available to elementary students living one mile from school and to middle school living students living 1.5 miles from school. As a cost saving measure, the district does not transport high school students.
BusQuest App
Parents can now track their students' bus with the new app, BusQuest, available on the Apple App Store or Google Play. Search for "BusQuest" on your smartphone's app store to download. Once downloaded, create an account and search for "Newark City School District, OH". Once selected, you will be able to create a user name and password. If using the cellphone number or email of your student's primary contact, the student(s) will be added to your account. You can also sign up through the BusQuest website here.
