Parents in Colorado's third-largest school district are in their second year paying $1 day for their kids to ride the bus to school.
"We've had several calls from other districts asking about our program," said Randy Barber, spokesman for the Douglas County School District in Castle Rock, Colo.
Each Douglas County bus is equipped with Zonar GPS unit to track student ridership and each student is required to carry a card or a ZPass that tracks their use of the bus, Barber said. He said that has helped school officials verify the absence or attendance of a student.
"We have 13,000 students who ride the buses each day
. It's been successful in many ways," Barber said.
