DPS axing quadrant transportation system

DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — Dayton Public Schools is creating a change to increase the amount of students that can use district bus transportation.

DPS announced Thursday that the current four-quadrant transportation system will be transformed into north and south zones for the upcoming school year. Currently, K-8 students are required to live in a quadrant that includes their school to be provided access to busing.

According to the district, the current system has been difficult for parents, students and even transportation staff.

“By eliminating quadrants and implementing north and south transportation zones, students will
have more school options, offering greater flexibility to families,” said DPS. “The District hopes this change will mitigate any transportation issues families have experienced and will make Dayton Public Schools more attractive to those who have left due to quadrant concerns.”

The district will release a visual of what the zones will look like in the future.
