The school district is autonomous but if there's any way to put its buses to use when they are not transporting students that should be explored.
Are parents allowed to accompany their children on the bus? Is so, how about dropping off parents at the train station after the kids have been delivered to school? Maybe then parents would feel less of a compulsion to personally drive their kids to school.
Those school buses are in use much less than normal public buses. They're a wasted resource. And if the Bee Line is so good why don't older students use those buses?

Does the school district own the buses? Because when I was going to school, they were owned by the White Plains Bus Co.
Last night at the Sustainable WP meeting I asked a school admin who said the buses are rented. I said, so, negotiate for their use when not moving kids but that was too radical.
