Abstract:

At present, home-to-school student transportation and general public transit services are provided almost entirely by separate vehicle fleets. The fact that both of these fleets are not fully utilized throughout the day indicates that there may be the potential to reduce the cost of these operations or to provide additional service to the public by coordinating the two operations. This report examines the potential benefits and disadvantages of coordinated services and identifies barriers to their implementation. The report 1) provides a background on the provision of school transportation; 2) discusses issues involved in the coordination of services, 3) examines a number of examples in which such services have been established, 4) investigates the benefits which can be achieved, and 5) determines what basic system designs are likely to be most effective in generating benefits and applicable to a variety of sites. The report concludes that some coordination efforts should prove worthwhile and suggests several designs for further consideration and testing. (Authors)
