No, CollegeBus is a project of Open Access, a 501(c)3 public charity. Our objective is to provide safe, secure, student-only transportation for those in need. We save parents from having to make the trip back and forth and so that families can spend more time with their student during the breaks rather than driving them to and from Campus. All of the monies collected have been used to further this objective with any excess being provided to students who demonstrate need.
With oversight by Open Access, a scholarship fund was established to offer scholarships to students in need. We also learned that a number of students were unable to go home on breaks because their family didn't have the time or means to bring them home. If you know of a student who can't go home during a break or a family who is in need of assistance please email us at [email protected] so that we may provide them with assistance.

We are hopeful that we will collect enough donations to cover the costs associated with the buses. In the event that a specific bus reaches capacity, we will add additional buses. We will do everything within our power to ensure that buses that we commit to performing are run as planned. In the unlikely event that we cannot cover the costs of the bus, the parents and students will be notified 72 hours before that the bus will not be running and that any tickets may be applied to a future trip.
You will see a credit card charge from College Bus, CB or Open Access depending on the credit card processor. Open Access is the non profit project that College Bus is part of.
