Vermont Interfaith Action: Winooski School Transportation Action 06/03/2015

Ironically, although Winooski is only one square mile, transportation to and from school can be daunting for many families. There are no school buses, and the regular bus service does not run at appropriate times to help families get their children to school. Many families have only one car, and if work schedules do not coincide with the school schedule, driving children to school is problematic. Having little ones walk a mile in deep winter snow also creates problems with timely arrivals and being ready to learn when they do arrive wet, cold, and tired. This action is an effort to ask the school district, City of Winooski, Chittenden Regional Planning Commission, and other stakeholders to work together to come up with suitable solutions so that children can get to school safely, on time, and ready to learn.
