Transportation to The Elisabeth Morrow School

The Elisabeth Morrow School offers Transportation between our campus and neighborhoods in New Jersey and New York City.

We offer pick-up and drop-off in the following areas of New Jersey: Hoboken, Fort Lee, Edgewater, Cliffside Park, Weehawken, West New York, Guttenberg, and North Bergen. Our NJ bus routes are set before the start of the school year, so families can determine if bus service is right for them. We also offer transportation between our campus and neighborhoods from Hudson Heights to the Upper West Side. Based on interest, a preliminary route for NYC is sent to families in the spring and finalized during the summer before the start of the school year.

School-Provided Transportation

The Elisabeth Morrow School offers bus transportation to and from campus.

To accommodate the many neighborhoods our students come from while minimizing travel time, New Jersey bus routes are set before the start of the school year using common stops. Established routes and pick-up times are available during enrollment to determine if bus transportation is a viable option for you. For families in New York City, a preliminary route will be provided to you in the spring, and the final route will be confirmed in August before the start of the school year. Due to limitations, not all NYC transportation requests can be accommodated, and routes may only be established where families show sufficient interest to support a route.

Requesting Transportation

To request transportation services for the following school year, families must make a Transportation Deposit during enrollment. Transportation agreements will be sent to each family by email, and a completed agreement must be returned to confirm participation. When seating is limited, seats will be given priority based on the order in which signed contracts are received.

While EMS will make every effort to keep routes efficient, we cannot guarantee the start time of a route or the overall time to and from campus due to variables in ridership and riders’ proximity to other riders. In addition, EMS cannot guarantee that a route will be provided for every request. Routes are created and developed based on a minimum number of riders. If we are unable to accommodate a request, transportation deposits will be refunded.

To request transportation for mid-year participation, please contact transportation@elisabethmorrow.org, as we will make every effort to support new requests.
