Expanded Routes = More Choice

We believe families deserve options—and access. That’s why AJUSD has expanded its transportation routes to help students attend any school in the district, regardless of where they live within our boundaries. If your child is enrolled in a school outside your neighborhood zone, such as a specialized program or The new Academy at Superstition Mountain, transportation may still be available. We’re committed to removing barriers so every student can attend the school that best fits their needs and interests. To find out what routes serve your area and school of choice, contact our Transportation Department.
