The 18 team member transportation department for Wickenburg Unified School District (WUSD) consists of a fleet of 18 buses and 15 cars, trucks, and vans. 

It is the mission of the WUSD Transportation Department to transport students to and from school and school-sponsored events in a safe, dependable, and courteous manner. Our top priority is your child’s safety. Please follow these rules to ensure a safe ride to and from school.

• Follow the bus driver’s directions the first time they are given. 
• Stay seated while the bus is in motion.
• Do not throw objects inside the bus or out the bus windows. 
• Keep all body parts inside the bus. 
• Keep the aisle clear.
• Talk in a quiet, conversational tone. Do not use loud or vulgar language. 
• Treat each other and your driver respectfully. 
• Please do not push, shove, spit, or fight. 
• Do not bring food, drink, animals, glass, skateboards, or large objects on the bus. 
• Students must have written permission to exit the bus at a stop other than their assigned stop. 

Students will receive an immediate suspension of bus privileges if they do any of the following:

• Refuse to obey their driver
• Fail to give their correct name when asked
• Damage bus property, bus stops, or other student's possessions
• Cause physical harm or threaten to harm other student
• If everyone follows bus safety rules, we can assure safe transportation for all students. 

Bus Stops:

If you cannot locate the appropriate bus stop on the bus routes map on the left, please call the transportation department at (928) 668-5342 for assistance.

Driver Qualifications:

All of our skilled drivers possess a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) and a current CPR-First Aid certification. In addition, they must attend safety training on a regular basis, pass a physical from the Arizona Department of Transportation, have periodic drug screenings, and meet physical performance standards.

Employment: 
The transportation department continuously accepts applications from skilled drivers. Please refer to our Employment page to download and submit applications under the classified application - school bus driver position posted there.

Equipment:
Most WUSD buses are equipped with speed governing devices that control the top speed of our buses. If you believe you have seen a district bus exceeding the posted highway speed limit, please contact us at (928) 668-5342. Repositionable cameras are also installed on many of the district’s buses. Camera monitoring helps ensure the safety of our student passengers and our bus drivers. 

Lost & Found:
The bust driver collects items left on the bus daily, and he/she keeps items on the bus for a day or two to allow the students to reclaim their items. If students think they have left an item on the bus, have them check with the driver. After a few days the items are brought to the transportation office. If there is a way to identify the owner, we will contact the owner. You can also check with the transportation office at (928) 668-5342 to see if the item has been turned in there. If no owner is identified and the item goes unclaimed, the items we collect will be given to a local charity periodically throughout the year.

Thank you for helping us keep our buses and our students safe!
