• Abstract:
  "The 2003 Iowa General Assembly asked the Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) to conduct a study of Iowa public policy ; regarding coordination of public transit services and school transportation. This report describes the efficiencies that may be obtained ; by coordinating transit management and maintenance systems in the areas of school transportation, public transit, and other forms of ; public transportation. As requested by the Iowa DOT, the Center for Transportation Research and Education (CTRE) at Iowa State ; University studied these issues and prepared this report. ; CTRE conducted a survey of the 35 transit agencies in Iowa and school districts served by public transit agencies to determine the ; extent and nature of coordination. Twenty-three transit agencies coordinate in some manner with over 45 school districts. The nature of ; the coordination varies with the urban or rural nature of the area. ; The results of the study show that Iowa policy is supportive of coordination activities, coordination occurs when there is clear benefit to ; both parties, coordination can result in efficiencies and cost savings, and the safety records of school bus and public transit in Iowa are ; both excellent and comparable."
