Trust-Ed is available directly to school districts across Oregon. Outside of Portland, many schools face limited options for transporting students in McKinney-Vento and similar programs. With Trust-Ed, districts can empower their Para-Pros, Teachers, Substitutes, retired staff, and administrators to earn additional income by providing transportation during their daily commutes. This approach is significantly more cost-effective than traditional buses or third-party vendors, and the funds invested stay within the district—benefiting its own educators and staff.
In Arkansas, ARESC saw a need to help students get to less traditional education opportunities, after school activities, and help schools supplement bus routes as needed. By solving these transportation challenges directly, students will be given the chance to thrive, educators the ability to earn extra income for their families, and schools a solution to bus driver shortages! The future is bright in Arkansas!
