GG & C Bus Company – providing school transportation (for Washington School District on this frequency)
451.325 / 456.325 repeater – 103.5 PL ( WQFK788 )
Washington School District in Washington PA contracts bus transportation for K-8 to GG&C. It is very popular in WPA to hear active GG&C frequencies handling school bus transportation for various school districts [thus the existence of another GGC freq in Washington Co already).
This one was identified today when the dispatcher came on and gave an announcement:
“Washington School District drivers, school will resume back on January 5th, teachers ONLY will resume back on the 4th”
