Regional Transportation Study

Finding cost efficiencies and effectiveness is a key dimension of the LEARN mission and vision.  The LEARN Board of Directors requested that LEARN administration examine and explore comprehensive student transportation services to our member school districts.  The request included consideration of both low-participation to high participation models. 

Below is the LEARN Regional Transportation Study.  The purpose of this report is to examine the feasibility of such a vision of regional transportation for both regular education and special education students in the LEARN region.
