Cincinnati Schools: 1200+ Students to Ride the Bus…Public Transit, That Is!

Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS) is making a bold move to address its $50 million budget deficit: switching over 1,200 students to public transit. This year, primarily seventh and eighth graders from 13 schools will trade their familiar yellow school buses for Metro buses.

The district projects annual savings of nearly $3 million through this large-scale change. While past concerns regarding student safety on public transportation have been raised, CPS and Metro officials emphasize their commitment to close collaboration to ensure a safe and secure commute for all participating students. This significant shift reflects a nationwide trend in school districts exploring alternative transportation solutions to manage budget constraints.

This decision impacts a considerable number of students, prompting a closer look at the financial realities facing school districts across the United States and their exploration of innovative solutions to maintain essential services.
