Montgomery County Organizational Reform Commission specifically staggered to achieve this level ofefficiency. Since buses are serving all levels of schools, removing the secondary routes does not generally allow for the reduction of a bus or driver, since they would still be needed for the remaining routes. In addition, Ride On bus routes do not always serve secondary schools at the time of dismissaL One recent analysis found that the per-mile operational cost for Ride On is higher than for MCPS school bus transportation. Ride On buses cost more than school buses and Ride On bus drivers are paid higher wages than school bus drivers. Thus, if Ride On routes would need to be added to replace MCPS routes, additional costs would be incurred, not savings. The primary method of achieving cost-savings in this area is to increase the distance students arerequiredtowalkorprovidetheirowntransportationtoschools. Thecurrentguidelines for walking distances are I mile for elementary students, 1.5 miles for middle school students, and 2 miles for high school students. MCPS has had numerous conversations over the years about this. 2. Can/amities be charged/or some school bus transportation? There are many legal uncertainties surrounding this issue. Last year, a bill was introduced in the Maryland General Assembly to remove a prohibition against Montgomery County charging for transportation services. However, following advice from the State Attorney General,thebillwaswithdrawn. TheAGadvisedthatothersectionsofstatelawprohibit school boards from charging fees for bus transportation, and that removal ofthe one identified prohibition related to Montgomery County would not be sufficient to allow MCPS to charge for these services. It was determined that additional legal analysis would be necessary and a much more extensive local bill would have to be drafted, or statewide legislation introduced, to determine whether MCPS could charge for some or all student transportation costs. In addition, even if it were deemed feasible, there are other factors to be considered, such as non-discrimination requirements for special education and waivers for low-income families. Some other jurisdictions around the country do charge for some or all transportation services. However, some of these practices are being contested and laws regarding education services vary from state to state. 3. Could MCPS charge/or school bus use during non-school times (i.e., summer)? MCPS currently charges groups, primarily government entities and non-profit organizations, for use of school buses in the summer. MCPS charges an hourly rate sufficient to cover the cost ofoperation, the same as it charges schools and school organizations, such as PTAs, for field trips or other use during the year. These rentals are not intended to raise revenue but to offset additional costs. 4. What savings could be gainedfrom contracting out school bus service? Additional analysis would be necessary to determine whether significant savings could be achieved through contracting out this service. It does not appear that MCPS has evaluated - 65PDF Image | Montgomery County Organizational Reform
