Transportation To and From Magnet Programs

If you have questions about buses, please call the Transportation Office at 410-923-7890.

Bus stops for accepted Magnet students to their Magnet school will be consolidated and may not be located within ordinary walking distances. Almost all consolidated bus stops will be at local elementary schools, middle schools, or libraries. Parents/guardians will be required to transport students to the consolidated bus stop or to the Magnet School. (Exception: CAT North/CAT South students will be picked up from and returned to their home school within the regular school day).

Note: A list of consolidated stops is published by the Division of Transportation each August.
