Coordination of Transit and School Busing in Iowa, Final Report, December 2003

Abstract

The 2003 Iowa General Assembly asked the Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) to conduct a study of Iowa public policy regarding coordination of public transit services and school transportation. This report describes the efficiencies that may be obtained by coordinating transit management and maintenance systems in the areas of school transportation, public transit, and other forms of public transportation. The Center for Transportation Research and Education (CTRE) at Iowa State University studied these issues and prepared this report for the Iowa DOT.
