Shuttle Schedule & Flight Guidelines
For each school break, Tallulah Falls School offers a shuttle to and from the Indian Trail Rideshare parking lot at Exit 101 on I-85 just north of Atlanta.
Parents/guardians will be required to submit the name of the person picking up and dropping off their students at the shuttle. This designated person must be over the age of 21. Uber, Lyft, and other taxi service drivers cannot be the designated person to pick up or drop off students. Given the traffic situation in and around Atlanta, we recommend that your designated person arrive early and be waiting at Indian Trail when the shuttle arrives.
Picking up students at the beginning of a school break: Once the bus arrives at Indian Trail you will need to see the school representative that rode the bus, so your student can be signed out by the appropriate adult. Once the sheet is signed, your student is able to leave.
Dropping off students at the end of a school break: Again, we recommend arriving early, so your student is ready for their return to campus when the shuttle arrives. The bus will only wait 15 minutes after the scheduled pick-up time before returning to campus. If you miss the shuttle, the designated person will need to drive the student back to TFS.
Price and Policy: The cost for the shuttle service is $100. The amount is non-refundable and it includes a ride to and from campus. Once you have signed up for the Indian Trail shuttle your account will be billed for the service.
Times for pick up and drop off will be determined on a per break basis.
