GUILFORD COUNTY, N.C. — Greensboro Transit Agency said Guilford County Schools students will still be able to ride city buses for free for the 2022-2023 school year.
GTA announced Friday it will continue its partnership with the school system.
GTA said free city bus access will be available for all students with a focus on high school students attending Dudley, Grimsley, Page, and Smith High Schools and the Academy at Smith.
GTA and GCS formed the partnership last year in the wake of a bus driver shortage.
GCS is working to fill bus driver positions ahead of the new school year. The district hasn't said whether all bus-riding students will still be able to ride a school bus.
