The New York City Department of Education says 80,000 students get to and from school via a school bus. About 25,000 have special needs. Ramirez said receipts she submitted to the Office of Peer Transport in the past went unreimbursed. CBS New York reached out to the office for a comment, but we have not heard back. "I have no idea what I'm going to do to get to work," said Ramirez, who works in Lower Manhattan . Doris Attah, a health care worker, has an 18-year-old daughter with autism. No bus means mass transit.
