Abstract:

Forced transfer busing occurs primarily at the elementary school level when students are bused ; to an alternate school when their geographically-assigned school is full at their specific grade ; level. Ineffective forced transfer busing can result in extra student travel time and inefficient use ; of often scarce transportation resources. In fact, some force transferred students regularly arrive ; to their alternate school after morning classes have started due to inefficient transportation ; practices. We examine various forced transfer busing network design strategies using actual ; public school system data from two school districts to assess various proposed solution ; methodologies effectiveness at developing practically implementable busing solutions in a ; realistic amount of time. In addition, preliminary models and analysis are presented for special ; needs busing problems in one local school district such that student travel time is minimized for ; these often medically-fragile children.
