Local Education Agencies (LEAs) are required to submit a series of transportation data to initiate transportation services for eligible students. Data submissions are critical for OSSE to properly prepare for the school year and support our students and school partners.
For questions, please contact Jason Campbell at [email protected].
The routing of eligible students and timely delivery of transportation services are dependent upon timely and accurate student data submission via the TRF (i.e., sharing student address, attending school, telephone numbers, etc.).
-
OSSE DOT’s Transportation Request Form (TRF) status website is available for LEAs to monitor their ESY TRF submissions for the 2024-25 school year. This website provides transparency for LEAs and their leaders to monitor the TRF submissions of the students that are eligible for transportation services.

Students who are new to your LEA in 2024-25 will not appear in the Integrated Data System (IDS) until the LEA where the student was previously enrolled exits the students, and you, the LEA receiving the student, have transitioned your student information systems to the new school year.
-
OSSE DOT provides an LEA reimbursement policy guidelines for special circumstances at the start of school to ensure all eligible students have access to transportation when their school year begins.

In order to submit a transportation request form for an eligible student you must attend training on Transportation Request Form Submission Training via IDS (Integrated Data System). This training will provide guidance as well as deliver important and updated information on entering data for students eligible for transportation service. Training will be offered virtually for better accessibility and reduce any in-person contact. Access to the application will be granted upon training completion. Register
