What Cascadia parents say about bussing to after-school programs: It can be hard to get answers from the Transportation Department because they can’t share route information for privacy reasons, but generally, bussing should be possible as long as your after school program is in the Cascadia zone (meaning a bus route is nearby) and will take your kid. Call Transportation in August to update your afternoon address. In a last minute bind? If the bus stop exists but you haven’t updated your afternoon address, or you need it some days and not others, you’ll need to fill out a Yellow Card Request to change the bus stop and/or route that your child needs to use.
Here is the Fall information flyer for some idea of what classes might look like:
