Bus driver's kind act leads to community support for teen's track dreams

A local bus driver recently went above and beyond to help a teenager who wanted to run track but couldn't afford the apparel it requires.
Raylene Whitford is a bus operator for South East Area Transit, also known as 'SEAT.' The bus acts as an Uber.
For a low fare, people call in, and then the bus picks people up and drops them off wherever they'd like to go in between Pawcatuck, Stonington and Mystic.
Whitford, has worked as an operator for 16 years, prior to that she drove school buses.
