Sacred Heart High School Transportation
Yonkers Residents
Students who live 1 ½ miles or more from Sacred Heart High School are entitled to either a yellow school bus or a public bus pass (Metro Card) which is determined by the Yonkers Board of Transportation. Currently they are issued at a cost of $580.00 per year to be paid in full in September for yellow buses and $58.00 per month (Sept. through June) for the Metro cards. In some cases, students may be eligible for free bus service based on income (to be determined by Yonkers). If you are a new student and need to use this service, you must call the Yonkers Information Center @ 914-376-8015 to schedule an appointment to register your child with the school district. Please note that every year students must reapply to Yonkers to keep using the service.
New York City Residents
Students who are New York City residents are issued a NYC Metro Card which can be used only in N.Y.C. Students requiring this Metro Card must fill out an application and bring it with them when registering for Sacred Heart High School. This card does not work in Westchester, but NYC students will be able to purchase reduced rate Westchester Metro Cards in the Sacred Heart main office for travel in Westchester.
The #2 Yonkers Westchester Bee-Line bus starts at West 242 St. and stops on the corner of Park and Shonnard Place, which is just two short blocks from the school. The cost is $2.75 each way paid either in coins or by a Westchester metro card.
There are other Bee-Line buses (such as the #25 and the #4) which connect from other areas to the #2 line. For more information check the Westchester Bee-Line website at www.beelinebus.westchestergov.com or call 914-813-7777.
Other Municipalities
Students who live in other Westchester municipalities, (such as White Plains, Mt. Vernon, etc.) should call their local school district for their transportation needs. In the event, their district does not provide service, a reduced rate student Westchester Bee-Line Metro Card may be purchased. Applications may be obtained in the main office.
A special Sacred Heart bus service runs from Riverdale (stops are at West 234 St. and West 260 St.) at a cost of $80.00 per month. For more information call the main office, 914-965-3114, Extension 111.
