School Transportation Costs Rise

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

As we all know, it’s getting more and more expensive to get from A to B. And the same holds true for our local school buses.

According to report recently released by the environmental group 1000 Friends of Maryland, buses are driving longer distances and paying more for gas and the state’s school systems are really starting to feel the pinch.

Districts are coming up with different ways to cope with the rising transportation expense, but maybe you can help, too.

What suggestions do you have to help local schools keep costs down?
