in the same timeframe and same vicinity. Starting at about $9 per ride, rates can be discounted further by multi- student discounts and referral discounts.
Child-oriented businesses may gain participation from kids riding on SOS who missed out before because of transportation issues. Their earlier classes may fill up with children who can now get there before Mom or Dad
can bring them after work. Daycares and organizations can postpone vehicle purchases by using SOS. School districts may see academic improvement when students can miss their bus ride, stay after for tutoring and have an SOS ride home.
Amy Summars acknowledges that starting a small business in a slow economy has had its share of challenges. She’s hopeful their business will continue to improve as more parents realize such a service exists, the economy gets better and some creative offerings are applied. For instance, SOS will provide rides to other age groups when they are not driving children. They introduced a Summer Fun Trip program to take Tweens & Teens to local attractions. This Fall, SOS will pilot a transportation program between some private schools and convenient “bus stop” locations, with The O’Reilly Group McDonald’s restaurants allowing pick-ups and drop-offs at their locations.
Regarding employment, SOS is accepting applications and has found that parents and empty-nesters make great part-time child shuttle drivers! Those interested will find a downloadable application on the Employment page of
www.StudentsOnlyShuttle.com. For more information or to contact Amy, visit SOS online at:
