Pathetic -- both on the part of schools and parents. Extending the deadline isn't going to make much of a difference. Enforcement of the rules will.

"...[b]Metro reported that only 28 percent of eligible students had an active pass loaded on a DC One card as of today[/b][b].

Compliance with the “no tap, no ride” rule is necessary to ensure that Metro can quickly and accurately account for young riders who may be traveling unaccompanied, and to ensure that Metro is properly accounting for rides taken under the program. Metro is reminding students, parents, and school officials that use of the “swing gates” at station entrances is not permitted, and that all passengers – including DC One card holders – must properly tap their card when using the system.

“The safety of our young riders is paramount,” said Joseph Leader, Metro’s Chief Operating Officer. “Ensuring that every student uses their DC One card provides an important tool for safety and accountability that helps ensure our young riders have safe passage to and from school every day.”"[/quote]
