Robbinsdale Area Schools is entering the fifth year of its opt-in transportation system. The past four school years have demonstrated the opt-in system works because it helps decrease the number of routes while increasing efficiency in our transportation system.

The annual transportation opt-in survey will be included in a new annual update available through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal on July 1. The annual update survey must be completed for each student before the start of the 2026-27 school year.
