New York City Public Schools is glad to advise families that bus transportation will continue as usual, without interruption.

We appreciate the vendors reconsidering their position and recognizing how devastating this would be for our most vulnerable students in the nation's largest school system.

We are committed to working with the vendors to put a contract in front of the PEP.
