Dothan City Schools

The Department of Transportation looks forward to working with parents and students to ensure safe ridership to and from our schools. Parents with questions regarding routing, schedules, or bus stops should call the student's assigned school or the Transportation Department. 

The school bus is an important part of your student's day, and the bus driver is a vital link between home and school. In addition to the requirements established by the State Board of Education, DCS bus drivers are required to have a valid commercial driver's license and undergo a minimum of twelve hours of approved instruction in school bus driving, and satisfactorly complete a written examination driver's performance test approved or administered by the State Department of Education or State Superintendent.. All bus drivers are required to participate in scheduled in-service meetings and attend a safety workshop each year. Our bus drivers are well-trained and dedicated professionals whose primary responsibility is to transport students safely.
