CINCINNATI — Cincinnati Public Schools begins a new academic year on Wednesday with major changes to student transportation.

Under the new plan unveiled by CPS, students in grades K-6 will ride yellow buses, while students in grades 7-12 will use Metro public transportation. The district said only about 300 of those students will need to transfer in the afternoon at Government Square, an area that garnered a lot of attention last academic year due to reports of youth violence.

To address those issues, Mayor Aftab Pureval first announced last week that student passes will cut off at 5 p.m. each school day, ensuring none are using the pass to return to Government Square when they're not transferring buses.
