Traffic-busting bus program to return next school year

School buses will be back in operation at reduced capacity this fall to begin the Reed Union district’s 2021-2022 term — assuming there’s no significant resurgence of COVID-19. Prices for the annual passes, which will be on sale May 17-July 15, will remain unchanged at $315 each way per child. The Tiburon Peninsula Traffic Relief Joint Powers Authority board of directors, which operates the Yellow Bus Challenge pass-subsidy program, made the decision at its April 15 teleconference meeting.
