Applications are processed in the order received, on a first come, first served basis. Although the Transportation Department will make every effort to process each application and provide every student with a bus pass, some schools have very limited bus seating capacity available. Students who do not receive a pass due to overcapacity will be placed on a wait list in the order received.

 

Mail or walk-in application to:
CUSD Transportation Department

To qualify for a Free or Reduced Fare bus pass, families must be income eligible. Families can apply for a Free or Reduced Fare bus pass by submitting a meal application through the Capistrano Unified Food and Nutrition Services Department website. If approved, please log in to your SchoolCafe account to download your award letter, which is required in order to apply the bus pass. For assistance with the meal application, contact the Food and Nutrition Department (949) 234-9509 or (949) 234-9503.

 

After your bus pass application has been processed, you will receive an email confirmation. You can then choose to pick up the bus pass or have it mailed to you. Please note that students may not ride the bus until their application is processed and they have received their bus pass. Please make sure your student brings the bus pass to the bus stop every day.

 

Note:
* All Bus Pass applications undergo a review and are subject to changes or cancellation. If a district bus stop is not available, the bus pass application will be cancelled and parent notified via email. 

* CUSD does not offer bus service for School of Choice. Parents must transport.
