Baltimore City School Transit Improvement

proposed

A nearly three-year investigative project by The Banner revealed that unreliable public transit in Baltimore City makes it nearly impossible for students to get to school on time, affecting as many as 25,000 students. The investigation highlighted transportation barriers that undermine school choice, contribute to chronic absenteeism, and create inequities in access to reliable transportation. The project also explored potential solutions, including a proposed network of yellow buses, vans, and cars to safely and efficiently transport students, which could cost as little as 5% of the district's annual budget.
