Beginning next school year (2025–26), Austin ISD will transition to a hub model for transportation to and from the following magnet/choice programs:

• Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders

• Kealing Magnet School 

• LASA

• Lively Magnet School

The details: This means that buses will no longer make individual neighborhood stops but will instead pick up students at their nearest Austin ISD middle or high school. 

• Families may use the Transportation Hub Stops Locator to find their nearest secondary school bus hub. 

Why it matters: Austin ISD is committed to providing accessible transportation to all families while addressing financial challenges.

What to expect: The district anticipates students will spend less time on the bus since the buses will run directly between the hubs and the school with no additional neighborhood stops.
