Transportation Partner for School Districts in Chicago Area
School transportation is heavily affected by operational challenges, among other issues. Chicago School Districts were recently impacted by the national bus driver shortage. This concerns roughly 7,600 Chicago Public School students back in 2021. About 2,100 students did not have school transportation while 5,500 faced longer route times.
The issue can be especially pressing if your children or students have accessibility needs.
School districts can hire and train school bus drivers, and upgrade with accessible vehicles to address this transportation issue. However, this can be a costly alternative and may require more time to establish. Not to mention, maintaining a fleet is a challenge on its own.
