Abstract

School buses may be a critical education policy lever, breaking the link between schools and neighborhoods and facilitating access to school choice. Yet, little is known about the commute for bus riders, including the average length of the bus ride or whether long commutes harm academic outcomes. We begin to fill this gap using data from New York City to explore the morning commutes of more than 120,000 bus riders. We find that long bus rides are uncommon and that those with long bus rides are disproportionately Black and more likely to attend charter or district choice schools. We find deleterious effects of long bus rides on attendance and chronic absenteeism of district choice students.

乘坐长途汽车会降低学习成绩吗?

校车可能是一个重要的教育政策杠杆，打破了学校和社区之间的联系，促进了学校的选择。然而，人们对公交车乘客的通勤情况知之甚少，包括公交车的平均乘车时间，或者长时间通勤是否会损害学术成果。我们开始利用纽约市的数据来填补这一空白，以探索超过120000名公交车乘客的早晨通勤情况。我们发现，长时间乘坐公交车的情况并不常见，那些长时间乘坐公交的人中黑人比例过高，更有可能就读特许学校或地区选择学校。我们发现长时间乘坐公交车会对学区选择学生的出勤率和长期旷课产生有害影响。

The journal seeks high-quality research on how reforms and interventions affect educational outcomes; research on how multiple educational policy and reform initiatives support or conflict with each other; and research that informs pending changes in educational policy at the federal, state, and local levels, demonstrating an effect on early childhood through early adulthood.
