25-066 - Transportation Services

Description for Part I-The El Paso County Department of Human Services (County) requires transportation services for some school-age children placed in Out of Home Placement. School aged children are aged 5 – 23, with most riders aged under 18 years of age. The transport will be from the child’s current residence to their school of origin in the morning and from the child’s school of origin to their current residence, or other approved location, in the afternoon. The service provision will occur predominately within the borders of El Paso County, Colorado; however, there may be less frequent need of children requiring transport to and from neighboring counties, such as Pueblo, Teller, Fremont, and Douglas County, as well as into Denver area counties, such as Adams, Arapahoe, and Jefferson.  El Paso County has 17 school districts.
