Reply To: MV funds for a Bike as Transportation?
@RachelMV @KellyMV @SarahMV Thank you!
1. Is a barrier for the student transportation? Yes, although the student is on the bus route, he stays later than the bus because he helps his younger brother off to school. He then used to get a ride with a friend, but that friend has since moved schools.
2. How old is the student and how far would the ride be to and from school? 16 years old. Approximately 1.5 miles according to Mapquest.
3. Is it safe for a student of this age to travel this distance alone? I would say yes, with parent permission.
4. Would the family agree to allow a student to ride a bike to and from school? Yes, they have in the past. He used to use a bike to get to and from school as a back up method of transportation, but his bike was recently stolen.
Yes, won’t forget the helmet! Now looking for a local bike shop to donate. I knew I’d get great info here – thank you!
