- Riverwest and Lakeridge stops will be ELIMINATED
- Rosemont stop will be unchanged
- Dick's Sporting Goods stop is unchanged
- Bus price increased to $70, so we can attempt to break even
Why are we doing this? Because bussing gets more and more expensive each year. We have been advised that we will be unable to get the full discount we have received from the bussing company in years' past. Last year we had 7 Riverwest riders, and 10 at Lakeridge, compared to 30 at Dick's and 20 at Rosemont. Each bus stop cost around $1,000, plus on average 45-50 hours of volunteer work time EACH. It's a lot. To reduce costs, we are attempting to consolidate stops while still providing the service our families have asked us to keep.
We are hoping the families from the Lake Oswego area will understand that the Dick's and Rosemont stops will available for them to use and avoid I-5 traffic.
We still highly encourage carpooling and the carpool check in/out system was well received last summer!
