Pupil Transportation Guide: A Guide for Massachusetts School Administrators

August 1996

Letter From the Commissioner - Pupil Transportation Guide

Dear Friends:

On numerous occasions, school committees, school administrators, lawmakers, and the general public have requested information concerning pupil transportation services. The manual is intended to aid staff in the local education agencies in providing a safe, efficient, and economical pupil transportation system. It is a compilation of suggested guidelines based on solid research, pertinent statutes and regulations, and Department of Education policies as they relate to pupil transportation.

We will try to keep this document current and complete.

Best wishes for a successful transportation program.

Sincerely,

Robert V. Antonucci
Commissioner of Education
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts
