While NPA does not have traditional bus service, the Mountain Line public transit provides convenient city bus service and is an excellent alternative to the daily drop-off and pick-up line. Route 3 deviates onto Fourth St. on school days between 8-9 a.m. and 3-4 p.m., stopping right in front of NPA at the Sparrow intersection. Many families opt to have their student ride the bus to a more convenient central location for pick up, or straight to their house or workplace. Mountain Line offers free travel training, which is a great resource for families to familiarize themselves with the transit system, safety, routes, and connections. In addition, safety is a top priority. Mountain Line has live cameras inside and outside every bus, recently added an onboard Safety Supervisor to the staff, and has supervisors available at the Downtown Connection Center to offer assistance.
A Mountain youth day pass is $1.25 (exact change only), or families can purchase a K-12 Semester ($49) or Annual ($119) pass.
