    Whereas Peel District School Board (PDSB) has a Regional Learning Choice program with specialty schools, that does not offer transportation to students;
    Whereas students attending those schools often have to be driven to them, or parents need to spend thousands of dollars a year for private busing;
    Whereas often summer school is needed most by marginalized students, and PDSB does not provide transportation to them;
    Whereas switching schools often adversely impacts a student’s education, yet no transportation is provided for them;
    Whereas the lack of transportation support can constitute a significant equity barrier for marginalized students;
    Whereas transit passes would empower students with greater freedom and access to things like sports programs, libraries, and community centres, which particularly benefits all students, particularly marginalized students;
    Whereas 70 per cent of households in Brampton contain children;
    Whereas if students get used to taking transit to school, they are more likely to persist taking transit after graduation;
    Therefore it is the opinion of the Transit Advisory Committee that:
    1.    The City of Brampton investigate the feasibility of a collaboration, including full cost implications, with Peel District School Board, other relevant school boards, and the Region of Peel to provide transit passes to students in relevant categories, especially high school students; and
    2.    If feasible, a pilot begin for the 2022-2023 year, with pilot schools being Turner Fenton Secondary School and Central Peel Secondary School.
