[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would be great would be student shuttle hubs at various points in the city. For example, an elementary hub that picks up at designated times at Tenleytown and/or a few other stops that are central to where the biggest proportion of the commuting populations are coming from, then follows a set route to each of the designated elementary schools on that route. Repeat for middle school and high school (particularly for MacArthur). Then neighborhood parents can coordinate carpools to various hubs and feel comfortable putting younger kids on the bus. Even better if drop off points are outside of Ward 3, then school commuters don't have to go far out of their own neighborhoods at all. Like the Deal buses, but designated ONLY for students and drop off at the MacArthur schools as well as J-R schools.

The Ward 3 NIMBY is missing the mark not because it's inherently wrong to dislike the reliance on cars for school drop off and pickup that DC has created, but because PP doesn't realize that all of us who do that commute HAVE considered transit and would love a viable transit option. But DC just doesn't care (probably because the volume of cross town school commute traffic is actually very low) and is actually proposing to cut existing service.[/quote]

DC forced you to enter the school lottery?
