Getting to and from Raines should be simple. This quick guide was created to help students and families easily navigate our transportation system, locate bus stops, view scheduled pickup and departure times, and find route information using our interactive Raines Smart Bus Map.

Whether you're arriving for the morning, joining us later in the day, or heading home, everything you need to plan your ride is right here. Find your schedule. Know your stop. Be ready to ride.

BUS PICK-UP TIMES

7:30 AM | 9:30 AM | 12:30 PM

BUS DEPARTURE TIMES

12:00 PM | 2:30 PM | 4:30 PM

These are the Raines schedule groups.

Your individual bus stop time is shown on the transportation map.

Select your Pickup or Departure time on the map, then locate the bus stop closest to you.

Tap a stop to see: Bus Route → Stop Time → Stop Location

Follow the step-by-step guide below to select your pickup or departure time, find the stop closest to you, view stop details, and get directions.

Bus times are estimates and may vary slightly due to traffic, weather, or transportation conditions.

Before your first ride, confirm:

✓ Pickup/Departure Schedule

✓ Bus Route

✓ Stop Location

✓ Scheduled Stop Time

For the best mobile experience: Open the transportation map in your web browser or Google Maps. Choose only the schedule layer you need and tap a marker nearest to your home to view the stop details.

Please be at your designated stop at least 15 minutes before the scheduled pickup time. Arriving early helps ensure you are ready and waiting when the bus arrives and helps keep transportation running on schedule.

Example: Map shows 7:59 AM → Be at your stop by 7:44 AM.

Have your belongings ready, remain in a safe location near your designated stop, and do not wait until the scheduled time to arrive, as bus arrival times may vary slightly due to traffic and transportation conditions.

Download the SMART Tag Parent App to stay connected to your student’s bus transportation. SMART Tag is designed to help improve the safety and security of student riders while giving families access to bus route information, arrival notifications, transportation updates, and student ridership activity—including when and where a student boards or exits the bus.

Students should tap their Katy ISD ID/SMART Tag when boarding and exiting the bus. Each tap helps verify that the student boarded the correct route and exited at the correct stop. When available, SMART Locate also allows registered parents/guardians to view their student’s bus location and follow its progress toward their stop.

Student information is not stored on the ID card. The card uses a passive RFID chip containing only a unique identification number, with student information accessible only to authorized district personnel and registered guardians.

New to SMART Tag? Watch the step-by-step Parent App tutorial below, then download the app and register to stay informed throughout your student’s ride.

If you have questions or concerns regarding your bus route, stop location, pickup time, or transportation service, please contact your designated Katy ISD Transportation Hub for assistance.

East • North • South • West Transportation Hub contact information is listed below.

If you have questions regarding using the map please email Ms. Laura Angulo Martinez or stop by the Counseling Suite (Room A107). We are happy to assist you.🌱
