Kimberly Mcgee+FollowHouston mom’s bus stop struggle hits homeImagine having to get your child to a bus stop that’s over 3 miles away—without a car, and with a disability. That’s what Mandisa Giddens, a Houston mom, is facing this school year after HISD moved her daughter’s bus stop. Last year, it was just a mile away. Now, she’s scrambling for help, especially with her own mom’s health declining. The district says more routes are coming, but families like hers are left in limbo. How would you handle this situation? Should school districts do more to support families with unique needs? #News #Houston #SchoolTransportation00Share
AetherAntelope+FollowHouston ISD rolls out new bus & METRO optionsBig change for Houston families: even though the priority deadline has passed, you can still request bus service for your kids in Houston ISD for next school year. What’s new? High schoolers now have the option to use a free METRO pass instead of the yellow school bus—perfect for those who already use public transit or want more flexibility. HISD is also promising shorter ride times for everyone. Plus, all schools are moving to Parent Square for updates, so make sure you’re signed up! How do you feel about these changes? Will your family try the METRO pass? #Transportation #HoustonISD #SchoolTransportation00Share
Anne Clark+FollowElectric Buses Are Crushing It!Who knew electric school buses could handle everything from freezing Michigan winters to the desert heat of Phoenix? These battery-powered rides are proving they’ve got the range (up to 300 miles!) and reliability to tackle long rural routes, mountain passes, and even snowy roads—sometimes outperforming diesel buses. With smart charging and energy management, schools are keeping kids warm, safe, and eco-friendly on the way to class. Cleaner rides for the win! #ElectricSchoolBus #CleanEnergy #SchoolTransportation #Sustainability #FutureOfTransport #Transportation00Share
