Lawton’s Parents and Students Encouraged To Check Out New LATS Bus Routes
The school season is just about to start in Lawton and some parents and students are getting everything ready. While some use the traditional yellow school buses from Lawton Public Schools, others use the Lawton Area Transit System (LATS) to get to and from school. But earlier this past June, some significant changes have been made to the LATS bus routes.
Now, parents and students are encouraged to double check the routes and ensure that everyone knows where to go.
All Lawton Public Schools students and staff are able to ride on the LATS buses for free. Students are able to ride as long as they show the drivers their school I.D.
LATS Connect website useful for experienced and inexperienced bus riders.
On June 2, 2025, LATS changed the routes that drivers were going around town in order to "improve safety and efficiency." Since then, they've updated their website with the new routes. Lawton students and parents can open the page and check to see which of the eight bus routes is the best for their child to take.
Users are also able to get the most current times that the buses should be arriving at designated stops.
For those that may be new to Lawton and unsure which stops will take you a certain direction, there is also a tool that allows you to map out your journey. It will show you which bus you should take, the designated bus stop and the approximate time it should take you to arrive at your destination.
Practice while it's slow and calm before the school year kicks off.
Parents, maybe try taking the route with your student if they're unfamiliar or uncomfortable with the experience. It's best to do this now, well before the school year starts, so that everyone knows what to expect.
