Chicago is giving the families of stranded school children $1,000 to cover the cost of transportation for the next two weeks following a disastrous first day of classes that saw 2,100 students without a ride due to a bus driver shortage.

“This is an all-hands-on-deck moment,” Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said on Monday after parents were forced to fork over cash to ride-sharing companies such as Lyft and Uber to get their children to and from school.
