Council Member Restler inquires about the creation and purpose of NICE Bus, seeking confirmation on its role in bringing integrity, competence, and accountability to school busing. DOE officials provide limited responses about the organization's goals.

  • NICE Bus was created in 2021 as a quasi-city entity with multiple city officials on its board.
  • The purpose was to ensure transparency in busing operations and show the way for other bus companies.
  • DOE officials are cautious about commenting on the political reasons behind NICE Bus's creation.
