LinkLinks WAMU: In D.C., Kids Ride Free, But They Can’t All Ride Alone. And That’s A Problem. By Editor On Oct 5, 2018 52 Share Truancy is on the rise in both traditional public schools and charter schools in D.C., which has city officials taking a closer look at transportation. Some educators say that transportation issues are the number one reason kids miss school. D.C. doesn’t run school buses for all students, so kids often rely on public transit to get class. The city’s Kids Ride Free program makes their trips on Metrobus or Metrorail free-of-charge. But particularly for the youngest city dwellers, getting from point A to point B safely can be a challenge. SchoolsTransportationTruancy 52 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
