About CollegeBus
Our Mission, Your Journey
CollegeBus is more than transportation.
We’re a bridge connecting students to their families, universities to their communities, and sponsors to meaningful impact.
What Drives Us
Our mission is simple: to provide safe, affordable, and reliable transportation for college students. We believe no student should feel disconnected because of cost or logistics. By creating a seamless travel experience, we empower students to thrive academically and personally while staying connected to their families and communities.
Our vision is to build a world where access to transportation is never a barrier to education, connection, or opportunity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are you a for-profit business?
No, CollegeBus is a project of Open Access, a 501(c)3 public charity. Our objective is to provide safe, secure, student-only transportation for those in need. We save parents from having to make the trip back and forth and so that families can spend more time with their student during the breaks rather than driving them to and from Campus. All of the monies collected have been used to further this objective with any excess being provided to students who demonstrate need.
What is the donation money used for?
With the support of Open Access, a fund was established to provide scholarships to students in need. We learned that a number of students were unable to go home on breaks because their family didn't have the time or means to bring them home. If you know of a student who can't go home during a break or a family that is in need of assistance please email us at [email protected] so that we may provide them with assistance.
