Requesting Board of Education Transportation
The form to request bus service or an OMNY Card is emailed to enrolled families in late-June and due by mid-July. Students may request either bus service or an OMNY Card but cannot receive both.
Public Transportation: OMNY Cards
Eligibility is determined by the New York City Department of Education.
Students residing in one of the five boroughs of New York City who live more than half a mile from school are eligible for a full-fare OMNY Card. Parents are not eligible for OMNY cards.
Lost or defective OMNY Cards must be reported by the student to the Ramaz School office at which time a replacement will be issued.
