Beaufort County Schools Transportation Department provides bus transportation to all eligible students residing within their home school district who live one-and-a-half miles or more from school and to students with identified special needs. The system's transportation department is committed to providing these students with safe, efficient and reliable transportation service that contributes to their overall academic success.
Every day, over 100 buses transport more than 5,000 students in Beaufort County, covering more than 1.3 million miles a year. Safety is our number one priority on these school buses and a group effort. Thanks to Beaufort County's students, parents, teachers, school administrators, drivers and transportation staff, there have been no instances of school bus occupant fatalities during Beaufort County Schools' history.
