costs & details 

1. You will be able to sign up each semester for $250 per semester. 
2. We will adjust the price based on the percentage (rounded down to the nearest 10%) of your tuition adjustment received compared to total tuition and fees for the 2022-23 school year. For example, a $3,000 tuition adjustment rounds down to 20% of total tuition and fees; thus a 20% discount will be applied to the bus pass fee. 
3. All fees will be charged to your FACTS account.
4. Bus pass fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.
5. Participation in this program can save you from making a 20+ mile round trip commute every morning, with the potential to save thousands of miles’ worth of fuel and depreciation on your vehicle!

If you have any questions, please email Alex Zimmerman or call him at (402) 548-3850.
 

transportation program guildelines

Creighton Prep is contracting with Chief School Bus to service these routes.  At drop-off sites, parents must stay with students (or leave students with another trusted adult) until the bus arrives. Students are not permitted to leave the designated drop-off zone or enter the school at private school sites. In inclement weather conditions, students should stay in their parents’ vehicles until the bus arrives.  Bus stop times shown represent the departure time. Buses will not leave the drop-off site prior to the time shown, but they may arrive a few minutes prior to departure.  Once the bus has departed the drop-off site, it will not return to pick up students who arrive late to the site. If your student misses the bus, it is your responsibility to transport your student to Prep.  Each route has a limit of 42 seats. If you purchase a bus pass for a route, you may use either of the bus stops on that route. You may not use bus stops on other routes.  If a route has more than 42 students sign up, we will give preference to the families who live furthest away from Prep.  Students will be required to present their Creighton Prep student ID upon boarding the bus to verify the bus pass purchase. Until IDs are distributed after the first week of school, students will provide their name to the bus driver who has a list of those assigned to a particular route. In the unlikely event of a bus “no show,” it will be your responsibility to transport your student to Prep, which is why we recommend that students stay in their parent’s vehicle until the bus arrives. In this scenario, you will be refunded a pro-rata portion of your bus pass fee.  After signing up, we will send you more information regarding your specific stop instructions and designated drop-off zone. 

Carpooling 

Creighton Prep students often carpool to school from different parts of the city. If you would like to explore carpooling options, complete this form to indicate whether your son needs transportation or can provide transportation. After August 1, a list of students with carpool requests will be shared with parents who have completed this form to contact each other.
