Transportation
At Pacific Grove Unified School District, we prioritize safe, reliable and convenient transportation for all our students. Whether riding the bus, biking, walking or carpooling, we are committed to ensuring a smooth and secure journey to and from school.
Please familiarize yourself with the bus routes and bus rules linked below. It is the parent or guardians responsibility to ensure their child knows which stop to exit the bus.

Bus Passes
Bus Passes – please see attached application. Encourage parents to submit applications as early as possible and allow two weeks for processing. All passes are mailed to the address listed on the application. Parents may request to pick them up at the District Office if requested on the application. ALL students must attach the bus pass to their backpacks. Bus passes are checked daily by the driver.
Punch Passes
Punch Passes
Bus Punch Passes are for students who do not consistently ride the bus, need a ride to and from school to avoid inclement weather, and for those few times a year when parent transportation is not available.
Each punch pass will cost $10.00 for 10 one-day passes. A one-day pass will allow a student to ride both the home-to-school and/or school-to-home routes.
Families can elect to buy as many 10-day passes as necessary but will not pay more than $100.00 for one student or $150.00 for two or more students in a single school year.
