Are you a student, parent, or friend of one who relies upon the East Ramapo Bus Transportation Company for getting to school? Are you tired of inconsistency, unreliability, and an ineffectual system? Do you want: - Efficient route planning, which will include a) time-saving itineraries b) no more going in circles - Appropriate sized buses, which will mean that no child will be forced to stand for the duration of the ride due to lack of space - Careful screening and training of drivers, as well as strict law enforcement, which will eliminate the dangers of drivers that a) talk on their cell phones while driving b) scream/lose their temper c) insult students d) curse or speak inappropriately - Proper telephone customer courtesy from the bus company, which will a) help any issues whatsoever be resolved immediately b) have all problems taken into consideration c) reduce frustration on the parents' end d) phone representatives being respectful and accommodating e) earn our trust back There is a great temptation to publish the bus company's major mistakes, as well as some of our students' appalling experiences and undesirable circumstances, however for the sake of East Ramapo Bus Transportation Company's reputation, they will not be posted. Please sign our petition. We want to reach our goal of 1,200 signatures in the hopes of a complete reshaping of the bus company's structure and organization.

I have spent my mornings reading through your stories about the bus rides and they confirm exactly why this change is necessary. I am currently reaching out to district contacts to see who will finally listen to these accounts of our children being treated this way.

Seeing the growth of this petition shows me how many other families are tired of the daily stress our children face on these bus rides. It is heartening to know that my struggle to get my own kids to school safely is a fight so many of you are willing to join.

My daughter had to stand in the aisle all the way home because the bus was over capacity. Totally unsafe.

Fix the routes. My kid spends two hours on the bus for a ten minute ride. Ridiculous.

The drivers around here are absolutely insane. Seen them on their phones multiple times with a bus full of kids. Terrifying.
