The Boys & Girls Clubs of Monterey County provides free transportation from select area schools to the BGCMC clubhouses.
Please remember that parents/guardians are responsible for picking up children from BGCMC clubhouses or designated pickup locations.
Here is what some of our Club Members and parents have to say about "Catch the Bus."
Member Marian S. says, “ I like riding the bus because I can come to the club safely.”
Parent of Isaiah G. and Adrian V. says, “I like the bus program because I am a single mom going to school full time and I do not have transportation for them to get here.”
Parent of Daniel & Desiree V. says, “ I am a single dad and work 8 to 5 and getting off to pick them up would be impossible & I am thankful for my kids being transported.”
