Every school district in North America is not only struggling with transportation issues such as cost, logistics, and capacity, they are facing a looming crisis associated with conventional transportation models. There’s no second wave of bus drivers coming, and shifts to electric buses, while laudable, will not address the underlying challenges.
Go Together sees this, and sees all the potential that resides in the communities that school districts serve. It will take an unconventional approach to a mission-critical problem. If we want kids to learn, we have to get them to school. Go Together understands this better than anyone, and has the solution to make it happen.
Go Together, founded by Charles King and I, is upending how schools address student transportation. Not only is there a national shortage of available drivers, there’s an abundant need to unilaterally transform the way students get to and from school and school-based activities. It will take an unconventional approach to a mission-critical problem. If we want kids to learn, we have to get them to school. Go Together understands this better than anyone, and has the solution to make it happen.
Go Together is doing just that, equipping school districts and individual schools with safe and reliable community-based transportation options that utilize a modern approach to the time-tested notion of carpools, walking, biking or taking public transit together.
