Success Express Schedule Explanation – Noel Campus (AM)

The Success Express is a free transportation option for all RBN students who live in the GVR and Montbello neighborhoods. The Success Express operates multiple buses that run on routes similar to a shuttle system. Success Express buses travel along one of two designated routes, the Blue Line or the Red Line, which cover the same shuttle route, but run in opposite directions of each other. Both line’s buses make multiple stops in the morning and afternoon, Monday-Friday.

Rachel B. Noel Middle School’s start time is 7:45 am. RBN students who ride the bus to school must take a bus that arrives at the Noel Campus BEFORE 7:45 am to be on time and avoid being counted as tardy to 1^st period.

The Success Express has four buses (4, 5, 7, running in the morning along the RED LINE. Each of these buses makes one stop at RBN during the morning/AM schedule, however, two buses, RED LINE 5 and 7 are the best options for RBN students riding the Red Line in the morning:

Red Line Morning (AM) Arrival Times @ the NOEL CAMPUS (RBN)

Bus 4*           BUS 5 BUS 7 Bus 8*

7:03 7:08 7:20 7:46

*Bus 4 has been crossed out b/c it arrives at school before kids are allowed into the building in the morning.

*Bus 8 has been crossed out b/c it arrives AFTER the RBN start time, 7:45 am.

RED LINE 5 is recommended only for students whose closest bus stop is Howell, Maxwell or Archuleta:

RED LINE 7 is the best option for students picking up the bus in the morning (AM) at one of the home bus stops listed below.

In order to catch the Red Line 7 bus and arrive to the Noel Campus at the 7:20 am drop-off time in the morning, students must be at their home stop at/before the following times:

BLUE LINE 6

To arrive at the Noel Campus at the 7:44 am drop-off time, students who live closest to the following pick-up stops should take the Blue Line 6 bus and be at their pick-up stop at/before the following times:

The Blue Line 6 bus offers later pick-up option times in the morning from Greenwood and DCIS Ford than the Red Line 5 earlier alternatives (Red Line 5 picks up at Greenwood at 6:52 and picks-up at DCIS Ford at 6:57).

It is suggested that RBN students who pick up the bus at either the Greenwood, or the DCIS Ford stops, take the Blue Line 6 option. Blue Line 6 picks up at Greenwood at 7:34 and at DCIS Ford at 7:39.

Families can also call 720-423-4699 if they have specific questions about routes as well.
