Transportation Options
Bus Transportation
Carmel Catholic is pleased to announce the establishment of a comprehensive, subsidized transportation plan for students beginning in 2011-2012.
Besides PACE and the two existing train routes currently available, the following bus routes will be available for morning pick-up and afternoon drop off:
- Barrington/Lake Zurich
- Wauconda/Mundelein Township
- Buffalo Grove
- Wadsworth/Gurnee
- Lake Forest
- Mundelein Train Station (AM only)
All routes are subject to subscription and a minimal participation fee. Exact pick-up/drop off locations and route times will be determined after the subscription deadline.
These new options will be offered in addition to the already existing transportation options that Carmel Catholic families have.
The already existing options for transportation are listed below:
Mundelein and Libertyville High School Districts
| Mundelein High School: | http://www.d120.org/ | |
| Libertyville High School: | http://lhswildcats.org/ |
Carmel students are transported by the local high school district bus from their neighborhood to the public school. They are then transported to Carmel. The process is reversed in the afternoon. There is no charge for this service. This service runs on days when the public high school is in session. The Mundelein bus routes will bring students to the west side of Mundelein High School. The shuttle bus will stay until 7:30 AM when it will leave for Carmel. In the afternoon, the Mundelein Shuttle will pick up at the Salvi Arena at 3:05 PM and will take the students back to Mundelein for their afternoon routes. The Libertyville bus routes will bring students to the Libertyville campus between 7:15 AM & 7:25 AM. Walkers or students driven to Libertyville must arrive at Libertyville before 7:30 AM to use this service. The Libertyville Shuttle will be stationed in back of the building and will leave at 7:30 AM to bring students to Carmel. This bus should arrive at Carmel at 7:40 AM. There will be NO afternoon service to Libertyville High School and NO morning or afternoon service to Vernon Hills High School because of time conflicts.
Mundelein Train Station Shuttle
This is an AM shuttle service only from the Mundelein Train Station to Carmel. There are two pickup times from the Mundelein Station, one is at 6:32 AM and the second pickup time is at 7:13 AM. This van shuttle service will run with a subscription of 20 students. This shuttle service will have a subscription fee.

Students residing in the Fox Lake, Ingleside, Round Lake, Highland Park, Deerfield areas have several options in regard to public transportation.
