The Columbus School District offers a "Buy-A-Seat" program for students who are not eligible for transportation.  Please note the following:

- The service is only available on routes where there is bus capacity.

-The service is only available if the rider applying to "buy-a-seat" does not require an additional stop on the route.

-There is a two-week open application period prior to the start of each school year for riders who wish to "buy-a-seat" for the year.

-Mid-year requests for this service will not be accepted unless the rider has moved residences.

-The cost for the service is $175 per student with a max of $350 per family.  This fee is applied to the student's school fees.  Parents may pay in person or online.  Unpaid buy-a-seat fees from prior years must be paid before a subsequent year's application can be accepted.

-Buy-a-seat riders who are suspended from the bus for behavior reasons will receive a year-long suspension.
-There are no refunds for this service with no exceptions.
