2nd Semester Transportation Update

At this time we are reviewing our transportation services and unable to sell a bus pass for next semester. Please check back in early January to see what options are available.
If you have any questions, please contact transportation@ocsarts.net.

OCSA SCHOOL BUS

A "traditional" parent-paid Yellow School Bus is available from/to the Newport Beach/Bonita Park area.

• This is a school bus that picks up riders in the morning at Bonita Canyon Sports Park (1990 Ford Rd, Newport Beach, CA 92660) and returns them to Bonita Canyon Sports Park after school.
• An OCSA Shuttle Pass (issued by OCSA) is required to board the OCSA Shuttle bus and can be purchased below.
• Bus arrival and departure times are subject to change.

If your child has left something on the bus, please email transportation@ocsarts.net.

All costs associated with this program will be based on the total number of students riding the buses. The exact cost of the program can only be determined when we have determined the total of bus riders. This process is completed at the beginning of each school year.
The more students who participate in the program, the lower the annual costs are for each family. Based on prior years of ridership the approximate cost per student for an annual round-trip pass is $2,500. Depending on the total number of students riding, the actual cost may be higher or lower.

Families have the option to pay the full amount at the beginning of the school year, or may choose to pay in installments. Please remember that should the number of participants increase or decrease, the expenses will be adjusted accordingly.

The following Rules of Conduct must be adhered to by each student riding the bus:

• A valid OCSA School Bus Pass must be presented to the driver upon boarding or upon request.
• Bus passes are non-transferable and are required to be shown daily.
• Be considerate of the property at and near the loading areas.
• Line up in an orderly manner on the curb in preparation for boarding the bus.
• Take seats quietly without pushing or shoving.
• Keep all parts of your body inside the bus.
• Remain seated at all times.
• Talk quietly and in a respectful manner – no obscene or inappropriate language.
• Keep hands, feet, and all objects to self.
• Do not tamper with or damage bus seats or equipment.
• Leave bus quietly and carefully. Keep away from the side of the bus as it departs.

* All school buses load/unload from the 10th Street bus staging area, all riders are required to show a current OCSA School Bus Pass upon boarding.
