Transportation
Welcome to Transportation
If your child has transportation via an IEP, you do not need to register, as those arrangements will be made separately for your child.
Livonia Public Schools provides bus service for students who live more than 1.0 mile from school (grades K-6) and more than 1.5 miles for grades 7-12, as determined by the district’s routing software mapping system.
Stopfinder
LPS uses a mobile app called Stopfinder and a routing and management system called Transfinder to assist with communication and routing information for bus riders and families.
Families who are eligible for transportation, based on your home address, should have received an invitation email from “Transfinder,” with instructions on loading the Stopfinder app.
This email contains a form that is tailored to your individual student. If you have more than one student who receives bus service, you will receive a separate email for each student – PLEASE FILL OUT THE FORM CONTAINED IN EACH EMAIL RECEIVED.
If you have not received the email, and your household qualifies for bus service, please check with any other parent/guardian associated with your student(s). The emails are auto-sent to the first parent/guardian contact in our Student Information System. Associated parents/guardians may “share” student information with one another for full access to the features in the app. Please also check your spam and/or promotions folders in your email account for this message from “Transfinder.”
If you have not downloaded the mobile app called Stopfinder, please locate the invitation email in your inbox or spam folder for instructions. This will make finding your child's bus information faster and easier prior to the start of the school year.
IMPORTANT: Bus registration will ONLY be completed through Transfinder, as the Parent Connect option for bus registration is now disabled. Any questions about your route or other information should be communicated through the Stopfinder app for a faster response.
If you did not receive an email invitation to the app:
1. If you have not received the email invitation from “Transfinder” and your home address qualifies for bussing, please check with any other parent/guardian associated with your student. The email is auto-sent to the first parent/guardian contact in our Student Information System. Parents/guardians can share their student information with those who are associated with the student.
2. Check your spam and/or promotions folders in your email account. The sender of the invitation email is “Transfinder.”
3. If you have completed the above steps and still do not have access to the Stopfinder app, please email Transportation using the contact form.
