In October, the Council of San Benito County Governments, along with two other regional agencies, sponsored a Rideshare Week to encourage residents to find alternatives to work beside driving solo. Those who carpooled, rode a bike or the bus, or walked to work had a chance to enter a drawing for prices.
Hollister School District officials are taking the right approach by planning to be without a budget for bus service in 2012-13, but that shouldn't stop leaders from examining other alternatives to continue providing transportation.
