Redmond School District

If you live within Redmond School District boundaries…

You have the option of using Redmond School District Transportation! If you indicated that your student needs to ride the bus when you completed registration, we will work with Redmond School District Transportation to verify your student's route before school starts. Next fall, when your student gets their school ID, we will give them a bus pass sticker to put on the back, and they’ll be all set!

Cascade East Transit

If you live outside of Redmond School District…

Your student can use the Cascade East Transit system to get to Redmond Proficiency Academy. Through our partnership with CET, RPA is able to cover the cost of your student’s bus pass for all Community Connector routes, which include routes between:

  • Bend
  • Lapine
  • Madras
  • Warm Springs
  • Prineville
  • Sisters
  • Redmond

At the beginning of the school year, we’ll help your student set up their CET account using their school email. They can choose whether they would like their bus pass on an app in their phone or as a physical card.
