Service boundaries are as follows: the Orleans Parish line to Palmetto to Washington Ave. to Martin Luther King Blvd to Melpomene to the river and back up-river to the parish line. All potential riders must live within these boundaries. Bus routes are revised each year to best serve the students riding that year. Ideally, stops will be within a few blocks of each rider's home, however because of time and bus route constraints, some riders may be required to walk further distances. UFP reserves final authority in route determinations. As an example, during the 09-10 school year, there were approx 12-14 stops.

NOCCA
NOCCA School Bus Transportation Orleans Parish 2009-10
Due to support by the Recovery School District and Orleans Parish Public Schools, NOCCA is able to share with you the news: mid-day, one-way school bus transportation is being offered to NOCCA students according to the below schedule. It is unfortunate that NOCCA will not be able to fill the transportation needs of all of its students due to school release times and available resources, but we are very grateful to our partners because without their support neither of these routes would be possible. It is NOCCA’s hope that the below scheduled pick-up locations (transportation hot-spots) will assist coordinated efforts by parents.
Buses will arrive at NOCCA by 1:15 PM in order to facilitate the student’s attendance in the ½ day, Monday-Friday program. Students are responsible for their own return transportation home. If no students are using the transportation hot-spot the bus will discontinue making this pick-up. NOCCA students can utilize any transportation hot-spot pick-up location. All riders of NOCCA buses must present the “I AM NOCCA” button or a NOCCA student ID to the bus driver to access the bus.
DAILY TRAFFIC CONDITIONS WILL AFFECT TIMES. BUSES WILL PICK-UP AND DEPART PROMPTLY. STUDENTS WHO MISS THE BUS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN TRANSPORTATION.
Bus transportation will begin on September 8 according to the following routes.
