Transportation Information
The Cumberland School Committee provides transportation for all students within the Town limits who reside so far from school as to make their regular attendance impractical. In addition, the Committee provides transportation for students attending public or private non-profit schools beyond the Town limits providing the schools are located within the appropriate region and are established as regional schools as per the State statues.
Students may be expected to walk the following distances to their school or bus stop given that the walking route is deemed safe:
Kindergarten 3/4 mile
Grades 1 – 5 3/4 mile
Grades 6 – 8 1.5 miles
Grades 9 – 12 2 miles
The Committee annually approves all bus routes and bus stops within forty-five (45) days after the opening of
school and only such approved routes are to be followed.
For questions regarding student transportation, please contact our Transportation Clerk, Tracy Walton at transportation@cumberlandschools.org.

Elementary School Street Listings
We have been informed by Durham that the software (VersaTrans) which is used to program Cumberland’s boundary map does have a glitch which occasionally will duplicate streets in different boundary listings.
The street listings can be off on occasion with homes within 80 feet of a boundary line. Knowing this, efforts have been made to manually correct the software glitch. If questions do arise please contact Durham at 401-334-3745.

Starting Monday, February 3rd, Durham will introduce BusZone, a new tracking app designed to help families monitor their student’s buses. As part of our commitment to leveraging evolving technology in student transportation, BusZone offers enhanced convenience and peace of mind for both parents and the school district.
Available on both Android and Apple devices, the app allows parents to:
- Set up customized, proximity-based alerts.
- Receive instant push notifications when the bus enters or exits designated zones or the school.
Attached, is a flyer with step-by-step instructions on downloading and setting up BusZone. Similar to our previous app, you’ll need your student’s five-digit LASID number to access their bus information. If you do not know it, you can log in to Aspen and look at the student detail page. If you cannot find it or need further assistance in Aspen, please email aspenhelp@cumberlandschools.org
Please see the attached documents including the Bus Zone Informational Sheet-English; Bus Zone Informational Sheet-Spanish
