An agency official for the Savannah‑Chatham County Public School System provided transportation metrics for the first day, saying the district routed 22,557 students across roughly 224 routes and had 388 buses on the road for morning runs.
"22,557 students routed over 224 routes today... 388 buses were on the road this morning, and we had a 71.3% on arrival time," the agency official said, noting the rate is strong for a first day. The official added that municipal police helped manage a few traffic hot spots and urged drivers to be vigilant during morning and afternoon commutes.
