Transportation Department
Transportation Department August 2014 Dear AFS Families, As you review your transportation options for the 2014-2015 school year, please consider the options offered by the AFS Transportation Service. We understand that the logistics of daily transportation can have a profound effect on your student’s school day. It is our goal to provide as much utility as possible either as a complete transportation solution, or in conjunction with other arrangements. In order to make this a viable option to as many families as possible, the fee structure will remain unchanged for the fourth year in a row. • Door to Door Van Service This offers a maximum of convenience and flexibility that many of our families have found to be indispensible. We offer the choices of AM, PM, Round Trip, and Late Van separately or combined to suit your needs. The service can be further customized by making changes to a pick up or drop off location where possible as needed. We would need a ridership commitment for the full year and there is no provision for a ‘per ride’ basis. Discount consideration will be given to two or more families that wish to designate one stop as a ‘hub’ location. • Jenkintown Train Station Shuttle (Free of Charge) In addition to our door-to-door service, we run a free shuttle to and from the Jenkintown Train Station. This shuttle is intended for students, faculty and staff who choose to commute by rail. The AM pick up time is coordinated with the train schedule so that everyone arrives on campus as close to 8:00 AM as possible. -
