This guide is designed to assist fiscal policy team members in assessing current standards and practices of school transportation systems in relation to the total school program. Team members should read the guide independently to determine their own familiarity with requirements essential to school transportation operation. An introductory statement, school transportation goal, and one or more standards that serve as reference points against which current practices can be assessed are provided in each of eight sections: (1) organization and administration; (2) financial management; (3) facilities management; (4) equipment management; (5) human resources management; (6) operations; (7) pupil management; and (8) public relations. Results to questions answered independently by team members should be used as a basis for discussion and help facilitate improving the district's school transportation program. (EJS)

Designed to help school administrators improve the efficiency of pupil transportation programs and control costs, this guide provides detailed guidance on how to collect and analyze costs, assess the effects of service levels and policies, and develop and administer a pupil transportation contract. Following an introductory chapter, part I consists of four chapters devoted to identifying and analyzing costs. Specifically, chapters discuss cost categories, cost allocation principles, the characteristics of pupil transportation services affecting quality and cost of service, and performance measures to improve program quality. The three chapters of part II identify and review service options, examine alternative service delivery systems, and describe the effects of changing provision systems and ways to compare various service options. Part III, containing detailed examples of documents used in the procurement process for securing contractors, provides a sample request for bid/proposal, describes the contract award process and evaluation procedures, and includes the text of a model contract agreement. Appendices list project advisory committee members and local education agencies visited and provide forms and guidance for depreciating capital assets, understanding supplementary and alternative contract terms, and performing cost allocations. Several exhibits relevant to California's pupil transportation program are displayed throughout the document. (MLH)
