Ride Wheels to school

Wheels is the best way to get to and from school this year! We operate supplemental bus service to middle and high schools in Dublin and Pleasanton during the school year, and our regular service also serves schools in Livermore and Pleasanton. Updated schedule information for routes serving Tri-Valley schools can be found below.

Discounted Ride Programs for Students

Did you know many students can ride the bus to school for free in the Tri-Valley? Eligible students attending middle or high school in the Tri-Valley may be eligible for free or reduced fares through the Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC) Student Transit Pass Program. If eligible, students can take unlimited rides on Wheels and Rapid buses during the school year. Conditions apply.

Student Transit Pass Program Conditions:

Students must attend middle or high school in the Livermore, Pleasanton or Dublin Unified School Districts. In the Pleasanton or Dublin Unified School Districts, students must also qualify for the free and reduced meal program. The Student Transit Pass Program is sponsored and funded by the Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC).

Modified Schedules

The following supplemental school routes will run modified schedules to accommodate school calendars and bell changes for special events.

Modified Schedules

Tri-Valley unified school districts supported by Wheels supplemental school services observe holidays, conduct special events, and vary bell times that require modified bus schedules. These adjustments are in the “Modified Schedules” tab at the bottom of each routes tab list. Wheels strives to update schedules one week before the end of month, or when updates are received. All supplemental school services are listed on the Routes and Schedules page, or can be viewed by school with the search function below.
