New Ride-Hailing Service Assists Chicago Students in Getting to School

In an innovative move to address transportation challenges, a new service in Chicago is enabling students without bus access to book ride-hailing cars to ensure they arrive at school on time. This initiative, known as PiggyBack, aims to provide a reliable solution for families facing difficulties with traditional school transportation.

The program allows students to request rides through a user-friendly app, connecting them with nearby drivers. This service is particularly beneficial for those who live in areas lacking adequate public transportation or where school bus routes are unavailable. By offering a convenient and safe alternative, PiggyBack aims to reduce absenteeism and help students maintain consistent attendance.

Parents and educators have expressed support for the initiative, noting its potential to bridge the transportation gap for many students. As the program gains traction, it may serve as a model for other cities facing similar challenges in student transportation. Overall, this service represents a proactive approach to ensuring that all students have access to education, regardless of their transportation circumstances.
