Bus Service to and from Pacific School:
It's Green, Convenient, and Free!

Picture
The Santa Cruz Metro provides bus service directly from the West Side of Santa Cruz to Pacific School in the morning and returning back to Santa Cruz in the afternoons. All school-aged youth can ride the Santa Cruz Metro buses for FREE. More information.

We encourage our families to use the bus as much as possible. Using the bus creates the following benefits:
  • Saves time driving
  • Saves gas money
  • Reduces global warming and air pollution
  • Supports the continued viability of the bus system
  • Reduces traffic and parking issues
  • Improves student and pedestrian safety

Important Note: If your student will be riding the bus to or from school, please be sure to fill out This Form and give it to the office each school year.
