High School & College Graduation Shuttle Bus Services in Independence
Start graduation day without the stress of gridlock along I-470 and East 39th Street when you set up a private commencement shuttle! When Truman High School, William Chrisman High School, or Van Horn High School hosts graduation ceremonies or large assemblies at Cable Dahmer Arena, parking lots fill up fast with proud families. We can coordinate a continuous shuttle loop from off-site school parking lots or nearby hotels right to the arena's designated drop-off lanes outside the main concourse, so grandparents and guests skip the long hike across the pavement. Whether you need a single minibus for faculty or a fleet of 10+ motorcoaches for the whole graduating class, our network makes commencement travel effortless!
Private Independence College Tour & Multi-Campus Visit Bus Rentals
Book a custom long-distance charter bus to take your college-bound juniors and seniors on a multi-campus tour across the Midwest! Your driver can pick up your guidance counselors and students right at your Independence campus, navigate US-40 or I-435 into Kansas City, and drop everyone off together at the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) Student Union on Cherry Street or Rockhurst University. We also organize local shuttles to the Graceland University Independence Campus off Windsor Street and Metropolitan Community College-Blue River on East State Route 78. Want to tour Mizzou in Columbia or University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg? Book a full-day or multi-day package, and one bus stays with your group from the first admissions tour to the ride home!
