AI Summary

This Resolution urges the Department of Education to address unfairness in school transportation across the state by increasing and prioritizing school bus services for students from low- to moderate-income families, recognizing that reliable transportation is essential for equal educational opportunities and that current shortages, exacerbated by the pandemic, disproportionately affect these students, leading to missed meals, disrupted home lives, and poorer academic outcomes compared to wealthier families who can afford private transport. The resolution specifically calls for the Department to create more bus routes, especially in rural areas and on neighbor islands, and to hire more bus drivers to alleviate the existing service gaps.
