While the yellow school bus remains the backbone of student transit, 75% of administrators identify limited transportation access as a major driver of chronic absenteeism. This guide explores how districts are strengthening their fleets by integrating flexible, supplemental solutions to serve students with the most complex needs. Learn how a multimodal approach can bridge service gaps, restore attendance, and support your most vulnerable populations.
The yellow school bus is the most efficient way to transport the majority of students, but today’s attendance crisis requires even greater flexibility for those with unique needs. Students experiencing homelessness, living in foster care, or with IEPs often face mobility barriers that fixed-route busing isn’t designed to solve. This white paper provides a strategic framework for building a multimodal system where supplemental transportation works in tandem with your bus fleet to ensure every student has a reliable path to the classroom.
By aligning student needs with the right mode of transport, districts can optimize existing bus routes while deploying agile, small-vehicle solutions for high-needs populations. Discover how to enhance operational efficiency, reduce the burden on school staff, and turn your transportation policy into a powerful tool for educational equity.
