COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — Classes start for one of the biggest school districts in Colorado Springs in less than a couple of weeks, but hundreds of students who have registered to use the bus still need to pick up their "My Ride" card.
Starting this school year, D-20 is implementing a new process for getting on and off the bus, one that the district believes will benefit both them and parents. My Ride K-12 app provides parents with information about their child's school bus route, including real-time location, estimated arrival times, and bus stop information. The school district has sent out communication about this change several times over the summer.
As of Tuesday afternoon, the Director of Transportation for D-20 told News5 that hundreds of students still needed to pick up their My Ride card. Families and guardians of students who have registered to use the bus can pick up the "My Ride" cards at the transportation office, located at 7408-A Duryea Dr.
