MSBO recently released the 2011 Student Transportation Benchmarking Survey. The report provides student transportation policy makers and managers with information on comparative performance indicators and best practices in pupil transportation.
The 142 districts that responded represented 33 percent of all transportation costs, 32 percent of all buses driven across the state and 36 percent of total students transported.
The survey looks at various transportation operation indicators. These include cost per rider, cost per bus, and buses per 100 riders. It also looks at fleet management and number of buses maintained per technician.
This is the third survey MSBO has conducted since 2007 and provides a comprehensive look at pupil transportation operations in Michigan. It was conducted in conjunction with Management Partnership Services, Inc.
