A critical shortage of yellow school buses threatens to disrupt transportation for thousands of special-needs students across New York City as the school year begins. With fewer buses available, families and educators are raising concerns about how delays or cancellations could affect children who rely on these services for daily routines and education. The city’s Department of Education has acknowledged the strain on resources but has not yet outlined a clear plan to address the immediate gap. Parents and advocates warn that any disruption could exacerbate challenges for students with disabilities who depend on consistent, reliable transit.
