Transportation Planning Procedure

Transportation Planning Procedure

The Cache County School District Board of Education recognizes that the safe and efficient transportation of qualified students is essential to an effective education. Providing safe and efficient transportation requires planning and effective training.

The Board directs the creation of a standing Transportation Plan, with annual revisions and updates as needed. Essential components of the plan will include, at a minimum.

1. Transportation routes and walking routes;

2. Employee training schedules and staff management processes are unique to the Transportation department.

3. Long-term bus replacement plans, including cost projections;

4. Long-term bus facility plans;

5. Fueling costs, types, and possible suppliers;

6. Safety initiatives for students and drivers, including consideration of on-bus cameras;

7. Rate schedules for co-curricular and extracurricular activities;

8. A statement of explanation for weather-related school closures to be used each year as needed; and

9. A list of contacts and communication venues related to Transportation issues.

The Transportation Plan will be maintained on the district website. Upon request, the Board of Education may choose to receive periodic reports on the Student Transportation program.
