Note: If you are interested in transportation assistance to a public school different than the one your student is assigned, recently passed legislation will create a new Transportation Stipend for K-8 students, regardless of household income, to assist with transportation costs to a Florida non-virtual public school that is different than their assigned school. If the bill is signed by the Governor, this program will go into effect July 1, 2024 and applications for the 2024-25 school year will be available in the fall.
