For some reason @OSSEDC isn’t promoting it’s daily tracker anymore 🤔 Maybe because parents & data revealed it isn’t accurate at @councilofdc hearing yesterday? TY @ChmnMendelson for holding the hearing! #ShareYourBusStory @WashLaw4CR @DCChildrensLaw @DCSBOE @wtopnews.bsky.social @51stnews

6) parents already overwhelmed w/ medical, school, etc. advocacy & don’t need 🚌 service failure 7) @OSSEDC DOES NOT provide reliable, safe, & timely 🚌 transportation - STILL!!! Thanks for covering @maustermuhle! @postlocal @bytheresavargas.bsky.social @wusa9.bsky.social @AWainwrightTV

3) Not an IEP issue - it’s a fundamental 🚌 service & reliable comms issue! 4) why is @OSSEDC still using PAPER 🚌 trip tickets in 2025?!? 5) parents stop making formal complaints bc arbitrary limits (i.e. only issue 3x/week) & no follow-up

Other notable points from today: 1) SC district was able to procure & implement a 🚌 tracking app w/in 1yr. (@OSSEDC had allegedly been working on this for 6yrs!!!) 2) ALL parents noted comms was inaccurate &/or not timely - don’t need more comms if not accurate & timely

THANK YOU @ChmnMendelson for pressing @OSSEDC DOT on the procurement process for the 🚌 tracking app that has been promised since 2019! I will look forward to observing the round table on this topic next month!

So @councilofdc hearing still hasn’t started. Another indication that #disabled students & their families ARE NOT important to politicians!!! Thanks for covering this @dcnewsnow.bsky.social @MarielCarbone! lims.dccouncil.gov/Hearings/heari…

No comms on @OSSEDC daily tracker today which only lists 1 🚌 route late but am sure that’s inaccurate esp after @Commanders game last night 🫠 Headed to testify @councilofdc on the issue now. #ShareYourBusStory @washlaw4cr.bsky.social @DCChildrensLaw @ChmnMendelson @CMZParker5 @dcsboe.bsky.social

Unnecessary anxiety again this morning due to poor comms. Didn’t receive text/📞 🚌 was “on time” until 6:44am; usually earlier. This 👇 is why an APP is SO critical for families & students! #ShareYourBusStory @WashLaw4CR @DCChildrensLaw @councilofdc.bsky.social @ChmnMendelson @cmzparker5.bsky.social

🚌 arrived w/in 🪟but later than usual. New driver & aide are nice but admitted they had to learn the new route. Makes NO SENSE route bidding occurs after families/students get into rhythm & after practice routes before school year starts! Also no notice from @OSSEDC! 😤🤯🤬 @councilofdc.bsky.social

100

thedctweeter @thedctweeter.bsky.social · 20/10/2025

Only 1 🚌 route listed late, but probably only bc @OSSEDC doesn’t know. 🚌 drivers & aides “bid” on routes & this first morning. 🚌 usually arrived at 7am (7:17a schedule) but who knows w/ new team 🫠 #ShareYourBusStory @washlaw4cr.bsky.social @DCChildrensLaw @MayorBowser @wtopnews.bsky.social

thedctweeter @thedctweeter.bsky.social · 16/10/2025

🚌 arrived at 6:55am. Notable bc schedule is 7:17a which means 🪟 opens at 7a. However 🚌 only required to wait 5min. Of course single-parenting this week, so wasn’t ready at 6:55. Luckily 🚌 waited, but they also didn’t know schedule changed from 7:07a. 🤯#ShareYourBusStory

Much better for us today but obviously not for the 44 🚌loads of students that are LATE this morning!!! 🤯😤😡 THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN - for those in the back who aren’t listening: @MayorBowser @ChmnMendelson @councilofdc!!! #ShareYourBusStory @washlaw4cr.bsky.social @DCChildrensLaw @dcsboe.bsky.social

🚌 just arrived! 5:01pm!!! School ended at 3pm!!!

thedctweeter @thedctweeter.bsky.social · 26/09/2025

& 🚌 scheduled to arrive at 4:13pm but still not here at 4:54pm. Families of neurotypical kids would lose their mind if their children were treated this way but bc my son & others can’t speak or advocate for themselves & are medically fragile, it’s okay, right @OSSEDC???

thedctweeter @thedctweeter.bsky.social · 26/09/2025

28 🚌 routes late this morning ☹️ It never ends!!!

thedctweeter @thedctweeter.bsky.social · 26/09/2025

& still nothing on the tracker about our 🚌 route! 🤯😩🫠😡

🚌 finally arrived! Scheduled: 7:07am; Actual: 7:50am

thedctweeter @thedctweeter.bsky.social · 26/09/2025

It’s Friday, so that means 🚌 issues… 🫠 Informed 🚌 route was 20min late, but we’re at 30min late & #PRC said 🚌 is across town! 😩 & nothing listed on tracker which is why NO ONE can trust @OSSEDC to report accurately! 😤 #ShareYourBusStory @DCChildrensLaw @washlaw4cr.bsky.social

thedctweeter @thedctweeter.bsky.social · 22/09/2025

& I know for a FACT that 🚌 route 169 didn’t show but nothing listed on the tracker 👇 😤🤬

thedctweeter @thedctweeter.bsky.social · 15/09/2025

27 🚌 routes late this morning; at least 27 students missing instructional time; at least 27 families in chaos 🤦‍♀️ Doesn’t have yo be this way, @OSSEDC !!! #ShareYourBusStory @washlaw4cr.bsky.social @DCChildrensLaw @MayorBowser @councilofdc @ChmnMendelson @postlocal @wtopnews.bsky.social @51stnews

thedctweeter @thedctweeter.bsky.social · 12/09/2025

.@OSSEDC what does this mean??? 👇 Son was picked up at 7am. Has his 🚌 been in an accident?!? (Didn’t look at text right away as I get multiple daily about 🚌 - mostly not helpful as too late to be of use.) Calling #PRC now… 😤 #ShareYourBusStory @DCChildrensLaw @washlaw4cr.bsky.social

thedctweeter @thedctweeter.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

Not to mention comms this morning made me anxious about 🚌 p/u. Usually get notice at 6:30a that 🚌 is on time but not until w/in p/u 🪟today. Worried until it actually arrived on time. PTSD for the 🚌!!! (Why can’t we have an app - instead of all the texts/📞S?!?)

000

thedctweeter @thedctweeter.bsky.social · 08/09/2025

Like clockwork - ⬆️ 🚌 routes late/down bc @NFL season started 😩 If I know this why doesn’t @OSSEDC *plan* for this?!? 30 late & 1 down route!!! #ShareYourBusStory @DCChildrensLaw @washlaw4cr.bsky.social @MayorBowser @chmnmendelson.bsky.social @councilofdc @DCSBOE @CMZParker5 @wtop @postlocal

All good for us this morning but it’s Friday so that means overall not good - 33 🚌 routes late! 33 🚌loads of students missing educational opportunities! 33 🚌loads of families impacted! #NotOkay #ShareYourBusStory @washlaw4cr.bsky.social @DCChildrensLaw @councilofdc @mayorbowser.bsky.social

Afternoon update: babysitter reported that 🚌 just arrived home (2:09p) but drop-off is scheduled for 1:38p (on 1/2 day). When will it work?!? @wtopnews.bsky.social @postlocal @7NewsDC @wusa9 @51stnews @DCNewsNow @MarielCarbone @AWainwrightTV @maustermuhle @bytheresavargas @laurenmlumpkin

thedctweeter @thedctweeter.bsky.social · 26/08/2025

Today was SO much better - 🚌 arrived w/in 🪟. Made ALL the difference in our morning routine! Tracker says only 1 🚌 route late but I know of at least 1 other w/ no info or notice. 😩 #ShareYourBusStory @WashLaw4CR @DCChildrensLaw @MayorBowser @ChmnMendelson @wtop @postlocal

thedctweeter @thedctweeter.bsky.social · 25/08/2025

🚌 arrived at 3:51p, which is late based on 3:30p schedule, but WAY earlier than expected. Lots of people could’ve won 💵 off me w/ an under bet! This is only because I’m the squeaky wheel, but what about all the other wheels? Which families were impacted due to prioritization?

010

thedctweeter @thedctweeter.bsky.social · 25/08/2025

@cmzparker5.bsky.social you good w/ how @ossedc prioritizes NW > NE & #Ward5?!? Assume so since you haven’t FIXED the problem in 2.5 YEARS!!! #ShareYourBusStory

Another family -their bus never showed this AM. On hold with the parent resource center for over a half hour only to be told that the driver “never showed up”. If the driver never showed up, why did families never receive notice? @childrenslawcenter.org @dcattorneygeneral.bsky.social

Finally on my way to work, but gotta get home by 3:15p in case 🚌 arrives w/i 🪟 (which we know it won’t!) 🤬

110

thedctweeter @thedctweeter.bsky.social · 25/08/2025

🚌 arrived 8:45a!!! 15min AFTER school starts & SO drove son. Not driver & aide fault as @OSSEDC put them on a double route & told to get the NW kids before NE. Even w/ 🚌 for #disabled kids, NW gets priority as @OSSEDC knows they will complain more. 😤

120

thedctweeter @thedctweeter.bsky.social · 25/08/2025

Now 40min late. When will 🚌 show up?!? Tracker lists 100 fewer routes so…. On hold to speak w/ PRC but know that’ll be forever. Why can’t we get the 🚌 tracker app @OSSEDC has been “working on” since 2019?!?

thedctweeter @thedctweeter.bsky.social · 25/08/2025

Seriously doesn’t bode well for 25/26. Allegedly @OSSEDC practiced for today & it’s a fail. Our 🚌 late; another family super early (6:45a when p/u 7:31a); significant hold time for PRC etc. No #1stdayofschool celebration for #disabled students! @bytheresavargas.bsky.social @MarielCarbone

thedctweeter @thedctweeter.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

🚌 arrived 7:36a today, which is again outside p/u 🪟but usual time. Text 🚌 was on time received 7:14a (7:07a yesterday) so not helpful. But 🚌 arrived text received at 8:18a which is helpful if true. Last day of school for @stcoletta! #ShareYourBusStory @washlaw4cr.bsky.social @councilofdc.bsky.social
