I am a parent of a 5 year old little boy. Currently he attends Fairfield Public School in Amherstview, Ontario. We recently moved here and since doing so and switching schools , I have discovered Triboard Student Transportation Services Inc. wants my son and I to walk 1.6kms (1mile) to get to his new school and back. This is absurd and I demand a change! Pedophiles(happens more and more ), Animals (unleashed dogs) Weather Conditions (temperatures , freezing rain) Road Conditions (slippery roads, fast drivers)Health Conditions of the Parents and Caregivers (pregnant, sick, disabled) Health Conditions of the students(Broken bones) Unmaintained sidewalks (ice & snow, cracks and holes) and Roads without sidewalks are just examples of reasons why this is completely unsafe and unfair. Please sign here, if you are a concerned parent of a child who walks to school in the following Areas Limestone District School Board, Hastings and Prince Edward County School Board or the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board which all deal with TriBoard Student Transportation Services Inc for busing. If you are anyone else, wishing to show support thank you & please sign as well. We need all the help we can get!!!

I have been reviewing the detailed feedback many of you provided regarding the current transportation requirements. These accounts highlight the significant safety risks our children face under the existing policies. My focus remains on preparing these testimonials for a formal presentation to the board members.

The response to this petition has grown well beyond my initial expectations. It is clear that many families share the same concerns regarding the current transportation policies. This momentum demonstrates the urgency of our request for safer conditions for our children.

I went through a Jeremy decosta who says they walked the distance from our home to.school and seen no cause for concern. We have homeless encampments all over, increased crime and violence, traffic and the changes to our summer and winter weather. Waling 35 minutes in 40 degree heat or -24 is ridiculous.

We are in limestone district with tribaord and my children have to walk 2 km, 35 minutes to school. I am a seperated parent working 12 hour shifts and they will.not make an exception so that atleast 1 highschool child can ride with their Public school brother to watch him at home. The days I am off I drive them. I had to leave work today because of the sudden storm, risk my job so I could make sure my children got home safely.

I agree! As a caregiver the sidewalks are brutal and to walk kids in the middle of the road cuz they don't salt or plow the sidewalks is dangerous!!

this is ridiculous and something needs to be done, there are far too many kids being put in harms way to save a buck.
