The data associated with this publication are within the manuscript.
Abstract

Many foster youth face school instability due to frequent home placements that impact their academic and socioemotional well-being.

To address this, Los Angeles County implemented a transportation initiative using a private transportation service to help foster youth stay in their school of origin despite challenges of distance and funding.

Our study explores how this program works, the barriers it faces, and the critical role transportation plays in preventing school disruptions. We explore the program’s impact and potential solutions to support foster youth in their educational journeys. Learn more on the CTS website.
