Transportation

The majority of Totino-Grace students drive or are involved in a carpool. Totino-Grace will provide a list of students living in your zip code area if you are interested in setting up a carpool.

In order to guarantee bussing on the first day of school, please REGISTER HERE. It is not required to put in a student ID.  

Mounds View School District offers bussing to TG students only in the afternoon. They have two buses that pick up at TG and take students to either Mounds View High or Irondale High (depending on where they live). From there, students get on their bus that takes them to their stop near home.

The parents need to work directly with the Mounds View Transportation Department to figure out the bus schedule, bus stop, and route that would best work for them. They are extremely helpful and responsive in the transportation department, both via email and phone.  

If you have any questions, please contact the Mounds View Transportation Department at 651-621-6027 or transportation@mvpschools.org.

Totino-Grace High School families who reside in the Fridley School District, and live more than one mile from Totino-Grace High School, and wish to take the Fridley School District sponsored bus to Totino-Grace High School should fill out the transportation request form HERE. There will be no charge for this service.

Totino-Grace offers one morning bus route in the northwest. The current route is:

• Sam’s Club at County Road 30 and 94 at approx. 7:10 a.m.

• St Vincent de Paul Church at Jefferson Hwy & 93rd Ave at approx. 7:25 a.m.

• Park & Ride at 610 & Noble Ave N in Brooklyn Park at approx. 7:35 a.m.

•  Light Rail Station (West Lot) at approx. 7:50 a.m.

• Arriving at TG by 8:00 a.m.

*Please note: these times and locations are approximate and will be finalized closer to the start of school. If you are interested in this option, please contact the TG Transportation Office and you will be updated about any necessary adjustments. 

The bussing fee is $600 for the first child and $200 for each additional child in the family. This breaks down to $3.43/day for one child and $2.29/day for two children. This fee will be applied to the student's TG account and can be divided equally into two payments due on September 1 and November 1. By enrolling your child(ren) to ride the bus, you are responsible for paying the entire amount to cover the cost of the bus for the full school year. In the event that there are not enough riders your payment will be reimbursed.

If you are interested in signing up for this bus route, please fill out THIS contract.
