(WIB) – The Harriet Tubman Transportation & Beyond non-profit transportation company is offering students, organizations, and church groups rides during the coming school year.
“We’re creating a safe, community-rooted alternative for transporting our most precious cargo — our children,” says Bill Monroe, CEO and founder.
“Public transit, ride shares, and other private services are not designed with students in mind. It’s time for a solution that puts our children first.”
Monroe, a veteran and former police officer, said the initiative “is more than just a bus service.”
“It’s a movement toward safety, self-determination, and empowerment for children and families.”
Harriet Tubman Transportation & Beyond will have a fully licensed, insured, air-conditioned, GPS-connected 13-passenger minibus, serving schools, churches, and youth organizations across St. Louis city and county.
Parents can track the bus location in real-time through a secure mobile app.
“Each route is managed by trained, compassionate staff who know and care about the communities they serve,” according to Monroe.
Applications for bus drivers and bus aides are being accepted. The jobs pay $25 and $15 an hour, respectively.
“Our drivers aren’t just employees — they’re protectors, mentors, and neighbors,” Monroe said.
“We’re looking for people who want to be part of something bigger: restoring trust, safety, and pride in our neighborhoods.
“Harriet Tubman never lost a single passenger. That’s the spirit we’re embracing — ensuring every child makes it to school and back home safely.”
