SCHOOL YEAR 2022-2023 ~ MESSAGE
The PGUSD Transportation Department will be offering a reduced transportation schedule for our Elementary and Middle School students starting Thursday, September 1, 2022. The updated route schedule has been created due to later start times and driver availability. Transportation will be free for the first two weeks starting September 1, 2022 through and including September 16, 2022.
Starting on September 19, 2022 a bus pass will be required to ride the bus. Please allow two weeks for processing bus pass applications and mailing.
There is currently no PGUSD High School Transportation, services for PGUSD High School will depend on the successful hire of recent candidates. Routes will be add as new drivers are hired and trained.

Bus 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.

- For out-of-county, out-of-state, or overnight activities this form must be submitted two weeks prior to the Board Meeting. This will allow you to get the activity on the Board Agenda so the Board can approve the trip.
- Transportation will be scheduled after Board approval.
- The activity must take place after Board approval.
- For Monterey County activities, the form must be submitted 10 teacher workdays in advance of an activity.
- District Transportation can be denied if the activity interferes with home-to-school transportation, driver availability, or submission of a late request.
- If you plan to use an outside transportation company the Transportation Department will have to verify that they hold the correct certifications to transport students.
- Bus availability for field trips will be very limited during the first few weeks of January because of the yearly CHP inspection. For now, any requests made during this time will not be approved until CHP gives us the exact dates which usually happens right after Thanksgiving.
As in years past, if you have scheduled a walking field trip and the forecast shows inclement weather we can make arrangements to have a bus available so you don’t have to cancel the field trip. This is free and will depend on driver and bus availability. Please contact me or Desiree Babas at least 24 hours in advance to make arrangements.
