Whitehall Borough resident Sylvia McGrath has written a letter that has landed in the pages of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
"Many children ... cannot participate (in after-school activities) because they have no transportation home after these activities," McGrath writes in her Sept. 25 letter. "Both parents are working, or families have just one car that the father must use for work, or the mom doesn't drive.

The Baldwin-Whitehall School District does not provide activities buses.
