School transport and school bus services

You will find everything you need to know about school transport and school bus services for Troms. 

School transport 

We are responsible for organising the daily transport of all pupils at primary and secondary school level who, pursuant to the provisions of the Education Act, have the right to free school transport. Most of these pupils travel on ordinary bus services.

The pupil has the right to free school transport if the pupil lives over a certain distance from the school:

  • 2 km for grade 1
  • 4 km for grades 2-10
  • 6 km for pupils at upper secondary school

The distance of the way to and from school is defined as the shortest (safe) walkable route between the pupil’s home and school that is ploughed during the winter.

Will you be guaranteed school transport for the start of the school year?

  • For primary school pupils, the school reports transport needs to us.
  • If you go to upper secondary school and apply by 1 August, you are guaranteed school transport at the start of the school year.
