Transportation

District Busing via Kobussen

The Oshkosh Area School District (OASD) provides free school bus transportation, via Kobussen Buses LTD., to students who live outside of the Oshkosh city limits or who live in various areas without sidewalks. OASD students who do not live in areas served by school buses can choose to ride city buses (see GO Transit information below).

School bus transportation requests are made during the district's annual student registration, an online process that takes place in April through September via the IC Parent Portal. Families who request school bus transportation are notified of their eligibility in August.
