In Puerto Rico, overdue payments are beginning to reach school transportation providers after months of complaints and a suspension of service that affected students in several towns. José Rosado, president of the Federación de Transportistas Escolares (school transporters’ federation), confirmed that several companies, among them Tatitos Transport, have already received deposits from the Puerto Rico Department of Education.
Rosado also reported that the Secretary of Education gave him an update on the $9.5 million the agency still owes the transporters.
