TRANSPORTATION

Unlike most other charter schools, MITCS — in partnership with the Lincoln Park Performing Arts Charter School (LPPACS) — has a comprehensive transportation plan which is free and available to every student. LPPACS is also located in Midland, PA.

Students whose home school district is within a 10-mile radius of MITCS are bussed to MITCS by their district, paid for by that district. If you have questions and live in one of these areas, please call one of the phone numbers listed below:
 

• Hopewell: 724-375-6166

• Beaver (Frye): 724-371-0023

• Midland (Frye) :724-371-0023

• Blackhawk (McCarter): 724-847-0530

• Southside: 724-573-9500

• Central Valley (ABC) : 724-806-1500

• Western Beaver (Frye) : 724-643-9210

For those students who live outside the 10-mile radius, MITCS contracts with ABC Transit, a private company, to provide free bus service to and from school. Parents are responsible for transporting the students to and from one of several hubs each day. ABC Transit will pick students up at these hubs and drop them off there after school. If you have any specific questions about transportation or bus stops, please contact ABC Transit at 724-806-1500.

  

Bus Pickup/Drop Off for the 2023-2024 School Year

LPPCS hosts a Transportation Information website. The site details all bus routes, pickup and drop-off sites that will also be used by MITCS students. Please note, the bus stops are sorted by school district to help you identify the best route for your transportation needs. You are not limited to a bus that is listed for your home school district, feel free to select a bus and stop that is most convenient for you.

In Case of Inclement Weather

In the event of inclement weather, please tune in to your local news stations (WTAE, KDKA, WPXI) for up to date information. If MITCS should choose to close or delay, we will send out a robocall and post to our social media sites, in addition to local news stations. Instructions for students will be provided in Google Classroom for Flexible Instruction Days.

​

For those students living within the 10-mile radius, transportation will run according to your home district’s policy if MITCS is in session. Please reach out to your district for their specific instructions. Please remember, the safety of our students and staff is our highest priority. If you feel it is unsafe for your student to reach the school, please call the main office for your student to be excused for the day.
