A program in San Antonio aims to reduce transportation barriers for students. Reliable transportation can be a major obstacle for some families, and it is listed as a factor that contributes to chronic absenteeism. A report by Attendance Works, a nonprofit, highlights the issue of transportation.

Some students, like those at Triumph Public High School, have non-traditional schedules and must arrange their own commutes. The Via Student Pass has helped some students, easing their worries about getting to class. Further details about the program are available from the source.
