DeMatha offers school bus transportation from various areas and also provides transportation to Elizabeth Seton Catholic High School. DeMatha and Seton students who sign up for round-trip transportation are given first priority over those who use the services one-way.Bus service includes a morning trip, return trip, and services on mid-term and final exam dates. The DeMatha and Seton school calendars are used with considerations for specific events and situations. DeMatha will decide delayed openings and early dismissals.

In general, pickup locations are typically at centralized points to facilitate a quick and safe collection of students without delaying traffic. Afternoon drop-offs consider quick and safe locations, generally in the same vicinity as the morning pickups. We cannot provide "door to door" service due to timing and traffic patterns, especially during morning rush hour periods. In the past, centrally located pickup and drop-off points have worked out very well.

Transportation 2026-27

Transportation Update For School Year 26-27
New Management & Changes for Next Year

As we look toward the next school year, we are excited to announce that DeMatha and Seton have partnered with Zeelo, an outside transportation specialist, to manage our morning and afternoon bus routes. While our current bus routes will remain the same, we are moving to a more flexible, app-based system for families.
What’s Changing?

• App-Based Scheduling: All riders will now register and schedule trips through the Zeelo app. All passes for riding will be purchased prior to riding the bus.
• Flexible Payment Options: We are moving away from quarterly-only selections. You will now have more options for purchasing routes, allowing you to choose plans that better fit your family’s specific needs.
• Real-Time Tracking: The new platform will offer live vehicle tracking and instant service updates for students/parents/guardians.

Mark Your Calendars:

• Registration Opens for School Year 26-27: June 1st
