Episode Synopsis


Nebraska school districts are facing a severe shortage of buses and essential vehicles, making it increasingly difficult to transport students safely and efficiently. Aging fleets, high maintenance costs, and limited funding for new vehicles have left many schools relying on outdated buses that frequently break down. With fewer buses available, some students face longer wait times, overcrowded rides, or even a lack of transportation altogether. Schools are trying to manage the crisis by adjusting routes, repairing old buses, and seeking additional funding, but these solutions are often just temporary fixes. This episode will examine how the vehicle shortage is affecting students and schools, and what can be done to keep transportation moving forward.
