Transportation
We are considering adding additional bus routes for the 2019/2020 school year. If you would like to see a new bus stop in your area, please submit your request by clicking here.
The WCA Bus Service will transport more than 150 students during the school year.
The Lafayette routes are limited to 159 riders; the Ville Platte route is limited to 65 riders. Once available space is filled on a route, a waiting list will be compiled. If seating becomes available, you will be contacted.
Bus fees are paid along with your tuition payments according to the tuition payment schedule you selected. All transportation fees are handled through the Business Office. Please note: Bus Ridership is an annual commitment.
Full time riders are given first priority when compiling bus rosters. One-way and occasional riders will remain on the waiting list and will be added as space is available. Families with students enrolled on the Lafayette AND Opelousas campuses will receive priority placement.
Any changes to bus transportation selection must be made in writing by May 15th, otherwise all fees will be due.
If you have any questions, please contact Landon Patterson, lpatterson@wcala.org or 337-948-8607, extension 120.
