Boosting K-12 Attendance Through Innovative Transportation Solutions
A Strategic Guide for District Leaders on Leveraging Multimodal Transportation to Restore Attendance and Boost Equity
This white paper outlines a strategic, data-driven approach for district administrators to move beyond reliance on the yellow school bus alone. By adopting flexible, tech-driven, supplemental transportation solutions, districts can systematically eliminate barriers for their most vulnerable students — including those experiencing homelessness (McKinney-Vento) or living in foster care, students with special needs (IEP/504), or English language learner (ELL) students — leading to measurable improvements in attendance, operational efficiency, and long-term cost savings.
