The cost of gas may greatly affect a family with one or two vehicles, but Brunswick County Schools has 161 buses that use about 1,700 gallons of fuel every day.
To help offset the cost, the district has reworked a few bus routes and stops, hoping to use the district’s fuel as effectively and as efficiently as possible.
Steve Miley, executive director of operations, said there were 6,400 rides last year and about 4,000 stops. About 10 percent of the routes were affected in this year’s cleanup.
