This report provides the findings from an analysis of the use of public transit buses instead of traditional yellow school buses to transport students for the home-to-school and return trip. The analysis was composed of three sections. First, a determination of the potential benefits by means of cases studies and a review of literature that may results from an educational agency and public transit system arrangement for transporting students on public transit vehicles. Second included an identification of the real and perceived barriers and challenges as well as the innovative strategies by means of the lessons learned and specific actions that both cultivate and inhibit the use of public transit to transport students for the school trip. Third, determines, if possible, what types of coordination may be the most beneficial in a variety of environmental and institutional contexts.
