Abstract

During the early years of public school education, students were transported to and from school by their parents or family friends. However, by the end of the nineteenth century, the responsibility for transporting students began shifting from the parents to local school districts (Anthony and Inman, 1986). The second half of the twentieth century brought about changes in the services provided by student transportation programs. Services were expanded to include not only busing to and from school, but busing for desegregation purposes, transportation of students to and from athletic/extra-curricular activities, field trips for students, and the transportation of handicapped students as required by federal legislation. As a result of this multi-dimensional approach to student transportation, costs associated with the transportation of students have continued to rise and management of the transportation program has become more critical and complex (Anthony and Inman, 1986).
