Washington Latin provides bus service for both campuses; this is a fee-based service. Please see below for pricing and route information, then visit MySchoolBucks to register and make payment. NOTE: we have clarified departure and arrival times, both morning and afternoon.
Washington Latin offers charter bus service to and from both campuses with morning and afternoon service, plus a late bus. This is not a door-to-door service; families are responsible for ensuring the student arrives at the bus stop on time in the morning and has a plan to get from the bus stop to home in the afternoon.
For the 2025-26 school year, we are modifying our bus routes slightly to enhance service to families from both campuses. Some of the routes are now combined, as noted below.
