LESD serves over 200 bus stop locations within a 285 square mile community each day. Bus stops and routes are designed with consideration of safety, efficiency, cost and shortest overall ride times.
Bus routing is designed with buses traveling main roads through neighborhoods and with students picked up and dropped off at central locations. Bus stops are located at corners or intersections whenever possible and are usually central to where students are coming from. Some house stops are made on very busy roads or mid-way on long streets. Bus stops will generally be closer to students’ houses for younger students. Older students are expected to be able to walk further to their bus stops.
