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 Elementary and Secondary 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
