The mission of the Alexander City Schools Transportation Department is to provide all eligible children access to a full educational opportunity by providing a safe and comfortable means of transportation to and from school and to support the classroom instructional process by providing transportation for field trips and extra-curricular events.

The Alexander City Schools operates more than twenty buses daily. The transportation department transports an average of 2,047 students daily or 69% of the student enrollment. The average daily miles traveled is 1,500 and the average time per route is 1.5 hours. The longest bus route covers sixty-five miles and the shortest route covers 25 miles.

The transportation department operates on a ten-year fleet renewal cycle, within the capital improvement plan. To ensure the fleet is always in its best condition, the mechanics perform a monthly bumper-to-bumper inspection and service of all buses. All buses are inspected annually by the State Inspector and must have a sticker issued by the inspector on the windshield.
