Ride Smart Ohio is a supplemental school transportation program designed to assist with the bus driver shortage in Ohio and ensure consistent transportation for children outside of normal bus routes. By pairing students in need with available drivers, we aim to help create a safe and efficient transportation system that benefits both the students and the community.
Ride Smart Ohio is committed to providing safe and reliable transportation for all students, with a special focus on helping schools and districts meet their complex transportation requirements. These include McKinney-Vento, rural students, out-of-district trips, dual immersion schools, alternate education, long routes, attendance issues, as well as transporting special needs students or those with behavioral issues.
We are now signing up new districts and communities for Ride Smart Ohio. Inquire today and help get all your students safely to class. [ridesmartohio@mcesc.org]
We pair students in need, with credentialed, vetted, drivers based on their location - allowing the drivers to transport students on their usual routes to school/work.
