Piggyback Network connects parents while HopSkipDrive contracts directly with school districts to assist students without reliable transportation.

Reliance on school buses has been waning for years as districts struggle to find drivers and more students attend schools far outside their neighborhoods.

“The people who had the money and the privilege were able to figure out other situations like rearranging their work schedules,” she said. “People who didn’t, some had to pull their kids out of school.” -parent Erin @APNews describes a solution: @HopSkipDrive. #twill
As responsibility for transportation shifts to families, the question of how to replace the traditional yellow bus has become an urgent problem for some, and a spark for innovation.

Thank you, @AP for covering the innovative ways caregivers and districts are solving school transportation challenges, including the great video of a Detroit CareDriver! https://t.co/JsyD9jCht6

A simple, yet profoundly impactful, solution to school challenges lies in bolstering student transportation to best utilize resources. Durham Public Schools' busing is now reduced to 4 days a week. ABC 11 evaluates a solution. https://t.co/Dx1rZVCxQL

"In an effort to address the shortage and ensure all students can travel to school, many districts have contracts with alternative transportation solutions providers like HopSkipDrive."

Many election officials are already doing 12 hour days. Officials in Clark County, WA will now tack on several more hours to contact these voters. This is who works our elections. Not the caricature villains created by election fraud fan fiction.
Elections administrators in Clark County, Wash. just sent these images of ballots burned in Vancouver's ballot box arson. Officials are drying out the ballots, then sorting through them to identify voters who have yet to seek a replacement ballot.

The only people you hurt when you cancel your @washingtonpost subscription are the reporters who did not make that decision, are in a dying industry and who do the groundwork to feed the news to on air anchors and TV reporters. Jeff Bezos couldn’t give less of a sh*t about you

I don't belong to Amazon Prime. I do subscribe to the Washington Post, which out of years-long habit remains the first paper I open every morning, and will continue to do so, thanks to all the great journalists working there.

I understand the anger at Jeff Bezos and the Washington Post for its endorsement decision, but cancelling your subscription means less revenue to pay all the Post's reporters. Do what you gotta do but Bezos won't feel it in his pocket while some great journalists might.

Hours after we find out Jeff Bezos shelved the Washington Post endorsement of Harris, Trump meets with execs from Bezos-owned Blue Orgin. Billionaires openly currying favor with a wannabe authoritarian.

My mouth just watered? Thank you @blythebernhard. "You put journalists back into City Council meetings, you put journalists back out at sports games for the local communities,” Mr. Gaddis said. “You have local management again in these newspapers.”

Beyond the job losses, there is a steep spiritual cost to the decline of local news. We get meaning from being members of unique local places. That sense of place is weakened w/o local news. And our ties to our neighbors atrophies when we have few ways to learn about them.

Imagine if Kamala Harris said she was going to withhold disaster assistance to Georgia unless the governor accepted her policy position. How big a story do you think that would be? And for how long?
Trump threatens to withhold aid to California: We'll force it down his throat and we'll say, Gavin, if you don't do it, we're not giving you any of that fire money that we send you for all the forest fires you have
