Bus Service
The school offers four bus routes each morning and afternoon. Buses arrive on campus by 7:45 a.m. and leave at 3:30 p.m.
The cost is $4 per ride. Students are billed monthly. Link to bus fees.
We offer a variety of packages including an annual pass, half-year pass, morning or afternoon only pass and family passes. Families wishing to purchase a pass should contact Chris Balag in the business office. She will arrange for monthly billing.

Before you ride the bus . . .
Students riding the bus are required to complete the Oregon Department of Education Bus Regulations form posted as a downloadable file at the bottom of this page. The form must be signed by a parent/guardian and student. In addition, the Parent/Guardian Guidelines form must also be read and signed by a parent/guardian. Both forms are to be submitted to the child's division administrative assistant prior to riding the bus. New forms must be submitted each year.
Parents of Beginning and Lower School afternoon bus riders must make advance arrangements with Ginny Malm, After-School Care director, 503-297-1894 ext. 353. See details in the parent guidelines posted below.
If you have any questions, email or call Ed Sallia, facilities administrative assistant and transportation coordinator at 503-297-1894 ext. 401.
St. Vincent — Sunset Transit Center Shuttle
The good folks at Providence St. Vincent Hospital support our efforts to reduce the number of cars coming to campus. They welcome Catlin Gabel students, parents, and faculty-staff on board their complimentary shuttle bus that runs between the Sunset Transit Center and the hospital complex. Hours of operation are weekdays from 5:35 a.m. to midnight. The frequency varies depending on the time of day. From 6 to 9 a.m. and from 2:30 to 6 p.m. it runs approximately every 10 to 15 minutes. Download the complete schedule, below. The shuttle, a small white bus, picks up and drops off at the west end of the transit center. The shuttle from the transit center drops off passengers at several medical center locations including the East Pavilion medical building (the closest building to Catlin Gabel). However, the only pick-up point for returning to the transit center from the medical center is the West Pavilion.
