Rising gas prices are starting to hit parents who rely on carpools to get their kids to school. OsideUSD does not offer school buses for students (except for certain cases), so parents there feel the pinch more.
Rising gas prices are forcing parents who rely on carpools to pay more. KPBS North County reporter Tania Thorne talks to parents with limited school transportation in Oceanside.
"I've heard of a family paying up to $400 a month for her children to be carpooled," said Nataly Sanchez, an Oceanside carpooling parent.Sanchez drives four teens to Cesar Chavez Middle School in Oceanside. In Oceanside, parents have had to organize school carpools because the district doesn’t provide bus transportation and many of the parents work early.Maria Infante used to rely on a carpooling parent to get her daughter to school.
While the city bus is cheaper, Infante's daughter has to be up an hour earlier to get to school on time. But parents with younger children who attend different schools don't have that choice.
