FY25 A.I. Regionalizing 7D Transportation

Only available as part of a package

This session will discuss how a region tied to a Special Education Collaborative that encompasses 20 school districts in the North Shore of Massachusetts was able to establish its own transportation network to leverage economies of scale with respect to purchasing power and passenger load to save districts money. Initiatives like this are more important than ever given the rising costs of student transportation along with ever limited financial resources available to school districts.
