Montgomery County Organizational Reform Commission Appendix III: Contracting or Privatization Options Considered As noted in the report, the ORC researched four specific areas for possible contracting out or privatization of services. They included information technology, liquor control, school bus transportation, and transit services. We are not recommending any changes with regard to school bus transportation and transit services, but provide background from those discussions below. School Bus Transportation The issue of Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) bus transportation raised the following questions regarding possible cost-savings: 1. Could savings be achieved by having secondary (middle and high school) students use Ride On buses, especially in the more urbanized areas ofthe County? 2. Could families be charged for some school bus transportation? 3. Could MCPS charge for school bus use during non-school times (i.e., summer)? 4. What savings could be gained from contracting out bus service? The information we received indicated that significant savings were not possible in this area, primarily due to existing efficiencies in the MCPS transportation system that have already been implemented. The school system has made efficiencies in transportation services a priority, so they do not detract from spending on educational services. Background MCPS provides transportation services to almost 96,000 students daily and maintains a fleet of 1,272 buses, which makes it the sixth largest publicly owned fleet of school buses in the nation. The school system spends approximately $33.7 million annually for Regular Education Bus Operations and $36.7 million for Special Program Bus Operations. Regular Education operations are utilized to transport students to their home school. Special Program operations transport students to many different schools, primarily for special education students who receive services outside their neighborhood schooL Special Program operations also cover transportation for students attending programs, such as magnet or consortia programs, that are not available in their neighborhood school. Special program transportation is much more costly per student but is also mandated in cases such as transportation of homeless children to their home schools. Key Questions Addressed: 1. Could savings be achieved by having secondary (middle and high school) students use Ride On buses? MCPS buses run several routes each morning and afternoon, and often during the day, as well. Typically, each bus will run an elementary, middle, and high school route each morningandafternoon,andmayrunotherspecialprogramroutes.
