MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN, FAMILIES & LEARNING
PUPIL TRANSPORTATION FINANCE STUDY REPORT
Summary and Recommendations
Laws of Minnesota, 2001 First Special Session, Chapter 6, Article 1, Section 51, requires the
Department of Children, Families & Learning to study pupil transportation costs and funding, and
prepare a report for the 2002 Legislature. The commissioner must consult with transportation
professionals throughout the state in developing and preparing the report. The report must:
(1) identify funding inequities;
(2) make recommendations for providing equitable transportation funding;
(3) consider changes in student demographics, attendance patterns, declining enrollment, district
topography, labor and fuel costs; and
(4) examine whether public transportation options can be used more effectively to provide
transportation services.
Study Process
Children, Families & Learning staff identified the data elements needed to analyze transportation costs
and funding, broken down by the categories specified in the legislation. Data elements already
available from ongoing data collection activities were identified, and a preliminary list was made of
additional data needed to fulfill the study requirements. A survey instrument was designed to gather the
data needed for the study but not available from ongoing data collection activities.
A public meeting was held on September 28, 2001, to gather input from transportation professionals
throughout the state on the study design and the survey instrument. A summary of the meeting,
including a list of participants, appears in Appendix A. Those in attendance at the meeting were
encouraged to submit additional written comments to the department. The survey was modified to
reflect certain recommendations made at the public meeting and through written comments submitted to
the department. The modified survey was distributed electronically to school district transportation
directors and school bus contractors for additional comments before being distrib uted to all school
districts and charter schools. There was a 67% return on the survey. Appendix B includes a copy of the
survey form, definitions, instructions, and supplemental district comments on the survey.
In order to gather information regarding the requirements concerning public transportation, the
department scheduled a meeting with public transportation officials and representatives from school
districts that were known or believed to be utilizing public transportation. All charter schools were also
invited to attend the meeting on public transportation. The meeting was held on December 13, 2001. A
summary of the meeting, including a list of participants, can be found in Appendix A.
The department also contracted with Minnesota Planning to obtain certain topographic information not
already available at the department. Meetings were held with staff from MN Planning to identify data
items available on the MN Planning database that could be used to explain differences in transportation
costs among school districts. The items selected for the study included, but are not limited to: total
miles of roads by classes of roads; total miles of roads within four selected slope ranges; areas of lakes,
streams and public lands; areas of zero population; and circumference of the school districts. Minnesota
Planning completed its analysis and provided data to the department in late January 2002.
Pupil Transportation Finance Study
i
On January 24, 2002, the department held another public meeting to give transportation professionals
througho ut the state and other interested persons an opportunity to review the progress that had taken
place and to make further suggestions before the study was completed. School district and charter
school administrators, school bus contractors, public transportation officials, certain legislators and
legislative staff were invited to attend this meeting and 51 individuals attended. A list of participants at
the meeting can be found in Appendix A.
In early February 2002, department staff built a data base including information from ongoing
transportation and pupil accounting reports, the transportation survey, and the topographic data from
MN Planning. Data analysis was completed, breaking down FY 2000 transportation costs, mileage and
various transportation service indicators by school district strata (e.g., Minneapolis and St Paul, metro
suburbs, nonmetro by enrollment size). In addition, several topographic indexes were developed and
broken down into percentiles.
Next, changes since 1996 in pupil transportation funding formulas were reviewed, and trends between
1996 and 2003 in state total pupil transportation costs and revenues attributable to transportation were
analyzed. To statistically assess the equity of transportation funding, the relationships between costs and
funding were broken down by various factors, and variations among groups in the ratio of revenue to
cost were examined. The breakdowns were done by school district strata, economic development
region, population density category, percent of students transported to nonpublic schools category,
topography category (as measured by road slope), and enrollment growth/decline group. In addition,
percentiles were calculated for the ratio of transportation revenue in relation to costs. Incentives to over
allocate costs to certain transportation categories, inconsistent funding for capital costs of disabled
transportation between district-owned and contracted operations, and under funding of charter school
and nonpublic pupil transportation costs were also examined as potential equity issues.
Finally, several transportation funding options were developed and assessed. The primary focus was to
develop options for allocating regular transportation funding among districts, using FY 2000 base data.
Seven options were considered. These options range from simply updating the current formula to reflect
newer data to changing the basis for transportation funding from a rate per pupil unit to a rate per pupil
transported, and including topographic data, mileage, and actual costs in the formula calculations. Six
of the seven options were further developed to show how each option could be incorporated into general
education funding calculations for FY 2003. In addition, the issues involved with categorical versus
general funding, use of set-asides, and transportation levies were briefly reviewed.
A copy of the legislation requiring the study and more details on the study process are found in
Section 1, Overview.
FY 2000 Pupils Transported, Costs, Mileage, and Vehicles
Pupils Transported – 843,083 pupils were transported to and from school, including 768,461
public school pupils and 74,622 nonpublic school pupils. This includes 616,750 pupils
transported in the regular category, 134,046 in the excess category (1 – 2 mile secondary or
extraordinary hazards), 26,705 in the disabled category, 60,693 in the desegregation category,
and 4,889 ineligible students.
ii
Costs – School district expenditures for pupil transportation, excluding bus depreciation and
capital costs, totaled $362.6 million. This includes $193.7 million for regular and excess
transportation, $78.5 million for disabled student transportation, $27.8 million for desegregation
transportation, $10.3 million for noon kindergarten transportation, $36.2 million for student
activity trips and field trips, and $16 million for all other transportation.
Mileage – Total mileage for pupil transportation was 159.7 million miles. Forty-two percent of
the total mileage was on school district vehicles, and 58 percent was on contracted vehicles.
Vehicles – Total of 13,573 school buses and other vehicles were used for pupil transportation
including 5,429 owned by school districts, 7,978 owned by contractors, and 166 owned by
nonpublic schools. As of June 30, 2000, school districts owned 2,693 school buses eight years
old or newer, valued at $128.6 million, and 508 Type III vehicles (cars, station wagons and vans)
five years old or newer used for pupil transportation, valued at $10.6 million. School distric ts
purchased a total of 407 school buses and Type III vehicles in FY 2000 at an average cost of
$44,248.
More detailed information on state total FY 2000 pupils transported, costs, mileage and vehicles
is found in Section 2, 1999-2000 Pupil Transportation Statistics. District by district data on
transportation costs, pupils transported, mileage, and topography is shown in Appendix C.
Analysis of FY 2000 Transportation Data
Table 1, in Section 3 of the report, shows breakdowns of pupils transported, population density,
transportation costs per pupil, and transportation costs per mile by school district strata, (e.g.,
Minneapolis and St Paul, metro suburbs, and nonmetro districts broken down by enrollment
size). Data reported by school districts through UFARS,MARSS, and the Pupil Transportation
Annual Report was used for this analysis.
Ninety-one percent of the state’s total public school students are eligible to be transported. The
metro suburban school districts reported the highest percentage of eligible students with 93.0%
followed by outstate school districts with enrollments between 1000 and 1999 (92.7%) and
urban districts (91.5%).
The number of pupils transported per square mile ranges from 891.90 in Minneapolis and St.
Paul and 122.12 in metro suburbs to a low of 1.35 in outstate districts with enrollment less than
500. The statewide average cost per student transported for regular/excess transportation is
$257.96. The average cost per student transported is lowest in the metro suburbs ($198.66) and
highest in outstate districts with an enrollment less than 500 ($378.44). Desegregation costs per
student transported are the highest in the metro suburban school districts ($1,241.72), compared
with $454.53 for outstate districts and $289.82 for Minneapolis and St. Paul.
iii
Cost per mile varies inversely with population density. Statewide, the regular/excess cost per
mile is $2.34. Urban districts report the highest cost per mile with $3.79 and outstate school
districts with enrollment less than 500 report the lowest with $1.53. Cost per mile for
desegregation is higher than for regular/excess with a state average of $3.66 per mile. The metro
suburban school districts have a slightly higher cost per mile ($3.84) than the urban school
districts ($3.67).
Tables 2 through 5 in Section 3 of the report summarize data that was reported on the
transportation survey. Approximately two thirds of the state’s school districts and charter
schools completed and returned this survey. Because of the one-time nature of the reporting and
the incomplete response, data obtained by the survey are not as reliable as data from ongoing
reports.
Table 2 compares regular/excess transportation costs for public, charter and nonpublic students
by strata. This table sho ws the average cost to transport excess students is about 80% of what it
costs to transport regular students. The urban school districts have the lowest ratio with .71.
Outstate school districts with enrollment less than 500 have the highest ratio with .98.
Comparison of regular/excess costs for students transported to and from regular district schools
versus charter schools shows that for the state as a whole it costs almost twice as much to
transport students to charter schools. For urban school districts it costs 3 times as much and for
the metro suburban school district it costs about 1¼ times as much.
Statewide, the cost to transport nonpublic students is the same as for regular/excess public
students. However, urban school districts reported a much higher cost with a ratio of 1.69. The
lowest ratio, 0.83 occurred in outstate districts with an enrollment between 500 and 999.
Table 3 shows bus driver compensation by strata. The statewide average hourly salary for bus
drivers was $14.32. Outstate school districts in the three smallest enrollment strata reported a
higher hourly wage than the larger school districts. The same trend is true for average hourly
benefits. The statewide average for hourly benefits was $2.07. Almost 70% of the full-time bus
drivers in districts responding to the survey received benefits, while 38 percent of the part-time
bus drivers received benefits. The percent of full- and part-time drivers receiving benefits in
responding districts varied significantly among strata.
Table 4 shows fuel costs by strata. Fuel costs per gallon and per pupil unit are the lowest in the
metro area and the highest in small rural districts. The average cost per gallon was lowest in the
metro area ($1.11), and highest in outstate school districts with enrollment less than 500 ($1.23).
The cost per student ranged from a low of $19.97 in Minneapolis and St. Paul to a high of $59.29
in outstate school districts with enrollment less than 500.
Table 5 looks at transportation trends between 1995-96 and 1999-2000. Statewide, the average
ride time increased for all grade levels by about two minutes per ride (from 44.5 to 46.2 minutes
for elementary schools, from 45.5 to 47.4 minutes for middle schools, and from 45.3 to 47.1
minutes for secondary schools). Minneapolis and St. Paul reported larger increases in average
ride times (4.5 minutes), but still had the shortest average ride times (27 minutes) of any group.
iv
The statewide average age of buses increased from 5.36 years to almost 6 years. All strata
groups reported an increase. The urban districts reported the largest increase with the average
age increasing by 1 year. The metro suburban school districts reported the smallest increase with
an increase of .4 years.
There was little or no change from 1995-96 to 1999-2000 in the average distance to pick up
points for all strata groups. For 1999-2000, the statewide average distance required of students
to walk to their pick up point was .21 miles.
Table 6 in Section 3 of the report shows that the number of school buses purchased by school
districts has declined in recent years. The decline in FY 2000 would be larger were it not for the
purchase of an entire bus fleet by the Bloomington School District, which changed from
contracted transportation to a district-owned and operated system.
Table 7 shows the variations among districts on various topographical characteristics using
percentiles. The percent of total road miles with greater than a five degree slope ranges from
0% to 50%, with a median value of 2.50%. The total number of road miles per square mile
ranges from .37 to 21.57, with a median value of 1.95. There are very few districts that have a
significant percentage of interstate miles to total road miles within their district. The median for
this category is 0.00% as is the lowest value. The highest value is 13.17%.
The ratio of circumference in miles to a district’s area looks at the irregularities in the shape of a
district that might impact the efficiency of transporting students within a school district. The
median of the ratio of the circumference in miles of a school district to its area is .58. The lowest
value is .11 and the highest value is 3.11.
The percentage of total square miles in a district with populatio n ranged from a low of 9.82% to
a high of 97.84%. The median is 81.09%.
Transportation Funding and Costs, FY 1996 – FY 2003
Section 4 of the report summarizes the changes that have occurred since FY 1996 in pupil
transportation funding formulas, and sho ws the changes in state total transportation costs and
revenues attributable to transportation from FY 1996 through FY 2003. FY 1996 was the last
year of separate categorical funding for pupil transportation, before the roll- in of regular/excess
transportation funding to the general education formula, enacted by the 1995 Legislature, took
effect in FY 1997. Beginning in FY 1999, funding for disabled student transportation is included
in special education aid and funding for desegregation transportation is included in integration
revenue. Nonpublic pupil transportation aid provides funding for nonpublic pupil transportation.
Table 8 provides a breakdown of revenue attributable to pupil transportation and “authorized”
transportation costs for FY 1996 – FY 2003. Totals from Table 8 are shown below. Data for
FY 1996 – FY 2000 are actuals; data for FY 2001 – FY 2003 are estimates. “Authorized”
transportation costs are the costs of transportation services authorized for categorical funding in
FY 1996. This excludes the costs of transportation services not eligible for categorical funding
in FY 1996, such as activity trips, field trips, transportation of ineligible students, open
enrollment transportation outside of the district, and nonlearning year summer school
v
transportation. Because school bus depreciation is calculated using original purchase prices
instead of replacement costs, an adjustment factor has been added to the bus depreciation line to
reflect the gap between bus depreciation and the cost of bus replacements (previously funded
with bus purchase levy).

For FY 1996, the last year of categorical funding, state total transportation revenue was $287
million, or 98.1% of total authorized transportation costs. During FY 1997 and FY 1998, the
first two years of the “roll- in”, the general fund revenue attributable to transportation increased
more rapidly than transportation costs, as districts with relatively low transportation costs and
low categorical funding (compared to other districts having similar population density) received
significant increases, while districts with relatively high transportation costs and high categorical
funding were held harmless with transition revenue. State total revenue attributable to
transportation was 100.2% of costs in FY 1997, and 102.0% of costs in FY 1998.
Between FY 1998 and FY 1999, the general fund revenue attributable to transportation remained
flat, while transportation costs increased 3.5%, thereby reducing the revenue as a percent of costs
to 98.5%. This was attributable to two factors. First, training and experience revenue was rolled
out of the basic formula, thereby reducing the base for calculating 4.85% of basic revenue and
transportation sparsity revenue. Second, the roll- in of disabled student transportation into the
special education formula reduced the funding for excess costs of this transportation because (1)
the special education excess cost formula uses a lower reimbursement percentage, (2) state total
special education funding is capped, and (3) the transportation excess cost formula had no
deduction for general education revenue, while the special education excess cost formula does
have a deduction. Because of the deduction, districts with low overall excess special education
costs no longer qualify for excess cost aid on their excess transportation costs.
From FY 1999 – FY 2003, the general fund revenue attrib utable to transportation is projected to
grow more slowly than transportation costs, increasing the gap between formula revenue
attributable to transportation and costs to $17.2 million by FY 2003. Districts may choose to
fill this gap by reducing transportation services, increasing fees, or cross-subsidizing
transportation costs with other general fund revenues. The impact of the $415 transfer on basic
revenue is excluded from the calculations for FY 2003 because, for districts with existing
referendum revenue, the $415 transfer did not generate any new money, but simply transferred
vi
referendum revenue (which was committed to other purposes) to the basic formula. If 4.85% of
the full basic revenue, including the $415 transfer, is included in the analysis, the gap between
transportation funding and costs would be eliminated, and total revenue attributable to
transportation would exceed projected costs for FY 2003 by $1.6 million. However, this would
assign 4.85% of the referendum revenue transferred to the basic formula to transportation,
thereby creating a funding gap for other general fund programs.
While this study makes an effort to compare the general fund revenue attributable to
transportation with authorized transportation costs, certain caveats should be noted. School
districts are not required to reserve or expend the general fund revenue attributable to
transportation for pupil transportation purposes. Fees charged for transportation services
previously funded through aid and levy are not reflected. While this study attempts to track the
funding added to the general education, special education and integration formulas to replace
categorical transportation aids and levies, the tracking becomes more tenuous with the passage of
time. For example, the roll- in and roll-out of various funding components from the general
education formula makes comparisons difficult. The roll-out of T&E revenue, the roll- in of
graduation standards revenue and district cooperation revenue, and the increases in the portion of
basic revenue reserved for class size reduction since FY 1997 are not adjusted for in this
analysis.
Transportation Funding – Equity Issues
Allocation of Regular Transportation Funding Among Districts
To analyze the equity of funding for regular transportation through the general education
program, FY 2000 authorized transportation costs, (excluding the cost of transporting students
with disabilities and ½ of the cost of integration/desegregation transportation, which are funded
separately), were compared with FY 2000 revenues provided through the transportation sparsity
formula and 4.85% of the basic revenue. Breakdowns were calculated by school district strata
(e.g., Minneapolis and St. Paul, metro suburbs, and nonmetro districts broken down into
enrollment size groups), population density categories, economic development regions,
enrollment change groupings, road mile slope groupings, and groups broken down by nonpublic
school students transported as a percent of total students transported. Tables showing revenues
as a percent of by district type, under current law and several alternative funding options, are
shown in the Funding Options section below.
•
Breakdown by Strata – State total revenue under the current funding system equals 97% of
cost for FY 2000. Revenue as a percent of cost is nearly uniform among school district
strata. Minneapolis / St Paul and metro suburbs have nearly 99% of their costs funded on
average, while non metro districts are funded on average at a slightly lower percentage of
cost, ranging from a low of 95% in districts with enrollment between 500 and 999 to a high
of 97% in districts with enrollment below 500.
•
Breakdown by Economic Development Region – Average funding as a percent of cost ranges
from a low of 81% in the Headwaters region (North Central) to a high of 111% in the South
Central region. Districts in the central part of the state, including economic development
regions 6E, 7E and 7W, also show relatively low aggregate funding in relation to cost,
ranging from 85 – 89%.
vii
•
Breakdown by Density Category – Districts with 200 or more students per square mile are
funded at the highest average percent of cost (102.6%), while districts with 20 – 199 students
per square mile are funded at the lowest average percent of cost (92.4%). More sparsely
populated districts are funded on average at 95 – 96% of costs.
•
Breakdown by Percent of Pupils Transported to Nonpublic Schools – Districts with very high
and very low concentrations of nonpublic school pupils receive less aggregate funding as a
percent of actual costs than districts with average concentrations of nonpublic school pupils.
•
Breakdown by Enrollment Change (FY 1996 – FY 2000) Group – Districts with rapidly
growing enrollment show a significantly lower average funding percentage (91%) than other
groups. The relatively low rate of funding appears to be related to the density issue described
above – many districts with rapidly growing enrollment are in suburban fringe, with
population density falling in the 20 – 100 pupils per square mile range. For other groups,
there appears to be little relationship between enrollment gain or loss and percent of costs
funded.
•
Breakdown by Topography (Road Slope) – There is not a significant relationship between
percent of costs funded by the current formula and road slope. Districts with more than 20%
of road miles with greater than a 5 degree slope receive average funding of 99% of costs, or
slightly over the state average of 97%.
In addition to analyzing patterns in the allocation of revenue versus average cost for various
breakdowns of school districts, percentiles were calculated for the ratio of revenue to actual cost
for individual districts (See Table 9). There are significant variations among districts in the
percent of transportation costs funded by the state. Ten percent of students are in districts where
the revenue attributable to transportation is less than 77% of costs, and 10 percent of students are
in districts where the revenue is more than 141% of costs. Forty percent of students are in
districts where the revenue is between 93% and 108% of costs.
Allocation of Transportation Funding for Disabled Students Among Districts
Two equity issues relating to funding for transportation of students with disabilities were
identified.
First, because the current system provides funding for transportation of students with disabilities
on an actual cost basis, while other transportation is funded without regard to actual cost, there is
an incentive to over-allocate costs to the disabled category, and under-allocate cost to other
categories. Anecdotal evidence and limited audit findings suggest that this is a growing problem
in Minnesota. While cost allocation procedures specify the appropriate methods to charge costs
and provide a standard for audit of district operations, it is more difficult to challenge costs as
defined in contracts if costs appear unusually high for disabled transportation and unusually low
for regular transportation.
viii
Second, the base revenue for the special education funding formula includes 100 percent of operating
costs for special transportation, but provides no funding for capital costs (e.g., bus depreciation). Since
the cost of contracts with private operators includes the contractor’s capital costs as an operating
expense for school districts, there is an incentive for districts to contract for disabled student
transportation, even if this is not the most cost-effective alternative.
Nonpublic and Charter School Costs vs. Fund ing
According to our survey data and anecdotal reports, the per-pupil cost of transporting students to charter
and nonpublic schools can be significantly higher than the per-pupil cost of transporting students to
regular district schools. This is especia lly the case in large urban districts where students are drawn
from a large geographic area. Together, Minneapolis and St Paul reported that their per pupil cost for
nonpublic transportation was 1.69 times the district average, and their cost for charter school
transportation was 3.37 times their district average. Other groups of districts reported only small average
differences in per pupil costs between charter and nonpublic transportation and regular transportation.
The current system funds transportation to nonpublic and charter schools at the same rate as
transportation to regular public schools.
Transportation Funding Options
Issues to be address in designing a funding formula include:
•
•
•
•
The method used to determine the allocation of revenue among school districts,
The breakdown of total funding between state aids, local property taxes and other revenue
sources (e.g., fees),
The setting in which the formula will be placed (e.g., part of the general education formula or
a separate categorical), and
Any restrictions to be placed on the use of revenue (e.g., set-asides).
This study focuses primarily on developing and analyzing alternative methods for allocating
revenue among school districts. This is the most difficult issue of the four and requires the most
research and analysis. Decisions on which method to use for allocating revenue are largely
independent of decisions about how much will come from aids versus levies, whether to include
the funding in the general education program or create a separate categorical, and whether to
place restrictions on revenue use.
Seven options were examined for allocating regular transportation revenue among districts, using
FY 2000 data. For purposes of this analysis, regular transportation was defined to include all
transportation categories eligible for funding in the pre-1997 categorical formula, excluding
special transportation services for disabled students and the excess cost of desegregation
transportation, which are funded separately. Three options would continue to fund transportation
on a per-pupil unit basis, and three would shift to a per-pupil transported basis. A seventh
option, which included topographic factors in the formula, was attempted on both a per pupil unit
basis and a per-pupil transported basis, but was not found to significantly improve predictive
accuracy and was not fully developed.
ix
Next, the options developed using FY 2000 data were substituted for the current transportation
sparsity formula, using estimated data for FY 2003. District by district calculations are done,
and the statewide fiscal impact was determined.
Finally, a few observations were made concerning the breakdown of revenue between state aids
and local property taxes, the setting in which the formula would be placed, and potential use of
restrictions on revenue use.
The options developed in this study are just a few of the many different approaches that could be
considered. Transportation funding approaches used by other states in 1998-99 as summarized
by the American Education Finance Association (AEFA) and the National Center for Education
Statistics (NCES) are shown in Appendix G.
Options for Allocating Regular Transportation Funding Based on FY 2000 Data
The current transportation funding method allocates reve nue on a per pupil unit basis; the
amount of revenue per pupil unit varies based on the number of square miles per pupil unit. The
formula is based on regression analysis done in 1995, which evaluated the relationship between
transportation cost per pupil unit and square miles per pupil unit. Since 1995, the formula has
been linked to the general education formula, which automatically adjusts transportation sparsity
funding for inflation at the same rate as basic general education revenue is adjusted.
The options developed in Section 6, Part A of this study are summarized in the chart below.

All of the options considered in this study would update the regression analysis done in 1995
using FY 2000 data. Options 1, 2, and 7 would retain the current per-pupil unit funding
approach. Option 1 would retain the current formula, and simply update the coefficients for
calculating transportation sparsity revenue using regression analysis conducted using FY 2000
data. Option 2 would be similar to Option 1, but would substitute formula coefficients
developed using a regression model which excludes high density districts, (which do not receive
transportation sparsity revenue), in an effort to improve the fit between average costs by density
group and formula funding by density group. Option 7 would fund school districts based on
50% of the Option 1 formula and 50% of the district’s actual cost.
x
Option 3 examined the potential use of topographic data in the transportation funding formula.
This approach was used briefly in the transportation funding formula during the early 1980s, but
was discontinued because it added considerable complexity to the formula with only marginal
and inconsistent impact on the results. Since the early 1980s, MN Planning has substantially
improved the quality of its land management data base. As part of the study, district-by-district
data for the following variables were obtained from MN Planning and considered for inclusion in
a transportation funding formula:
•
School District Shape Index – The circumference of each district in miles, divided by its
square mile area. A district with an unusual shape may have greater challenges in providing
pupil transportation than a district with similar population density but a compact shape.
•
Road Slope Index – The percent of all road miles in the district with a slope greater than 5
degrees. Hilly terrain may disrupt transportation patterns, requiring additional travel time,
additional mileage, and wear and tear on vehicles.
•
Unpopulated Areas Index –Unpopulated area (includes lakes, rivers, islands, publicly owned
land (e.g., parks), or other areas identified as unpopulated by the U.S. Census Bureau) as a
percent of total district square mile area. The presence of unpopulated areas in a district may
disrupt transportation patterns by requiring transportation around the unpopulated area or to
the nearest bridge across a river, instead of in a straight line. On the other hand, an
unpopulated area may reduce transportation costs compared with other districts of similar
density if the district does not have to drive around it.
•
Interstate Highway Index – Interstate highway miles as a percent of total road miles in the
district. The presence of interstate highways in a district may disrupt transportation patterns
by requiring transportation to the nearest bridge over the highway, instead of in the most
direct line.
•
Road Density Index – Total road miles per square mile in the district. For districts with
similar population density, overall road density (road miles per square mile) may serve as an
indicator of the areas that need to be covered by a school bus in picking up riders.
To evaluate the impact of these variable on transportation costs, a series of regression models
was constructed using (a) all of these variables together, (b) selected individual variables, and
(c) selected subsets, both in predicting cost per pupil unit and cost per pupil transported.
Generally, these models added only slightly to prediction accuracy, as measured by the R²
statistic. And, some of the variables had signs opposite of the postulated impact. While
topographic factors certainly affect transportation costs in certain specific situations, it was
concluded that, despite the improved information available from MN Planning, we are unable to
find significant statewide impacts of a magnitude that would justify adding another layer of
complexity to the model used to compute transportation sparsity revenue.
Options 4, 5, and 6 would shift from the current per-pupil unit approach to a per-pupil
transported approach. Under these options, the transportation sparsity allowance would become
a rate per pupil transported, instead of a rate per pupil unit. Option 4 would continue to use
sparsity and density indexes similar to current law, but with the indexes based on square miles
per pupil transported, instead of square miles per pupil unit. Option 5 would be similar but, like
xi
Option 2, would substitute formula coefficients developed using a regression model which
excludes high density districts, (which do not receive transportation sparsity revenue), in an
effort to improve the fit between average costs by density group and formula funding by density
group. Option 6 would be similar to Option 4, but would add eligible miles per pupil transported
as a factor in the formula, along with the density and sparsity indexes.
Regression statistics and scatterplots for each option are shown in Appendix D. Appendix E
includes spreadsheets showing district-by-district changes in funding based on FY 2000 data,
compared with current law for FY 2000. Two sets of regression models were run for each
option, one weighting the districts based on the number of pupil units and a second without
weightings for district size. The regression coefficients from the two runs were averaged and the
constant term was rounded up to generate state total formula revenue within $1 million of state
total actual cost for FY 2000.
To analyze the potential impact of each option on the equity of regular transportation funding,
the funding that would have been generated for each district in FY 2000 based on each option
was compared with FY 2000 expenditure data. Breakdowns were calculated by school district
strata, population density categories, economic development regions, enrollment change
groupings, road mile slope groupings, and groups broken down by nonpublic school students
transported as a percent of total students transported. The findings are summarized below.
•
Breakdown by Strata – State total revenue under each option would have been approximately
100 percent of actual cost, compared with 97% under current law. Under current law,
aggregate funding as a percent of aggregate costs is slightly higher for metro districts than for
nonmetro districts. Option 1 would provide a larger increase to rural districts than to metro
districts, eve ning out the funding distribution and slightly reversing the current advantage for
metro districts. Option 2 would increase aggregate funding for nonmetro districts with
enrollment of 2,000 or more, compared with current law and Option 1, while slightly
reducing the level of funding for other districts.

Options 4, 5, and 6, which shift funding from a per pup il unit basis to a per pupil transported
basis, would reduce aggregate funding for Minneapolis and St. Paul to less than 90% of
aggregate costs, and would slightly reduce funding for nonmetro districts with enrollments of
2,000 or above. Metro suburbs and nonmetro districts with enrollments between 1,000 and 1,999
would receive significant increases under these options. These funding shifts reflect the higher
percentage of enrollment transported in suburban and mid-sized nonmetro districts, compared
with Minneapolis and St. Paul and the large nonmetro districts.
Option 7 would generate the most uniform distribution of revenue in relation to cost, as would be
expected when actual cost is factored into the revenue calculations.
•
Breakdown by Economic Development Region – Under current law, aggregate funding as a
percent of aggregate cost ranges from a low of 80.9% in the Headwaters region to a high of
110.5% in the South Central region. Option 1 would increase revenue as a percent of cost in
all regions, with the largest increases going to the most sparsely populated regions. The
regional distribution of funding under Option 2 would be similar to the distribution under
Option 1, with the metro area receiving slightly less, and certain other regions (e.g., Central,
South Eastern) receiving slightly more.

Options 4, 5, and 6 would create a more uniform distribution of revenue as a percent of costs
among regions than current law or Options 1 and 2. Some regions would receive substantial
increases (e.g., Headwaters, East Central, Central), while others would receive substantial
decreases (e.g., South Eastern, South Central). Option 6, which includes mileage in the formula,
would produce the most even distribution among regions.
Option 7, which factors in actual cost, would produce a more uniform distribution of revenue
among regions than current law or options 1 and 2, but a somewhat less uniform distribution than
options 4 – 6.
•
Breakdown by Density Category – Under current law, districts with 200 or more students per
square mile receive aggregate funding which slightly exceeds aggregate cost (102.6%), while
districts with lower population density receive aggregate funding that falls below their
xiii
aggregate cost. Districts with 20 to 199 students per square mile have the lowest funding
ratio, 92.4%. While use of updated data in the current model would help match up the
aggregate costs and revenues for districts in the lower population density ranges, districts
with 20 – 199 pupil units per square mile would continue to have a significantly smaller
portion of their aggregate costs funded than districts in other density groups. Option 2 targets
additional funding to districts in the 20 to 199 students per square mile density range,
producing the most uniform revenue/cost ratios among density groups of any option.

Option 4 would create larger disparities in revenue/cost ratios among density groups than options
1 or 2, but with different winners and losers. Districts with 5 – 19 students per square mile
would receive aggregate funding equal to 104.3% of costs, while districts with 2- 199 students
per square mile would receive aggregate funding equal to 93.1% of costs. Options 5 and 6
would reduce the disparities below the level found under Option 4, but variances among density
groups would still be larger than under Option 2.
Option 7 would reduce disparities among density groups below the level in Option 1, but the
gaps would remain substantially higher than under Option 2.
•
growing enrollment receive the lowest ratio of aggregate revenue to aggregate cost of any
enrollment growth/decline group under current law and every funding option considered.
Option 7 provides this group with its highest ratio (96.0%). On the other hand, districts with
enrollment declines of 2% or more between 1996 and 2000 would receive funding in excess
of their cost under every option considered.

Options 4, 5, and 6, which would shift from a per pupil unit to a per pupil transported funding
base, would substantially reduce funding for districts with high concentrations of nonpublic
school students, and would increase funding for districts with the lowest concentrations. This
may reflect a correlation between higher concentrations of nonpublic schools in urban and large
nonmetro districts, and a lower percentage of pupils transported in these districts.
Option 7, by factoring in actual costs, would produce the smallest variance in revenue/cost ratios
among nonpublic concentration groups of any option considered.
•
Breakdown by Topography (Road Slope) –Under current law, there is not a significant
relationship to road slope and percent of transportation costs funded. Options 1 and 2 would
increase funding for all road slope groups, keeping the same general pattern as under current
law. Options 4 – 6 would significant ly reduce funding for districts with high concentrations
of steeply sloped roads. Option 7, by factoring in actual costs, would produce the most even
allocation among road slope groups of revenues as a percent of cost of any of the options
considered.

Impact of Replacing the Current Transportation Sparsity Formula in FY 2003
The preceding section developed six options that could be used to replace the current
transportation sparsity formula. While the analysis was completed using FY 2000 data, FY 2003
is the earliest year that a change to one of these options could be implemented. Between FY
2000 and FY 2003, transportation costs are projected to increase significantly, and the general
xv
education formula has been adjusted for inflation and to include the $415 roll- in. To provide
appropriate funding in FY 2003, the options developed using FY 2000 data were adjusted for
these changes, and to fit the context of the transportation sparsity formula. A brief description of
the adjustments for each option is provided below. Details of these adjustments are described in
Section 6, Part B.
OPTION 1: Updated Data
Option 1 would retain the same structure as the current transportation sparsity formula, but the
constants in the formula would be changed to reflect newer data.
Under current law, the gross transportation sparsity revenue per pupil unit equals:
[(Formula allowance * .1469) * (sparsity index**.26) * (density index**.13)].
Under Option 1, the gross transportation sparsity revenue per pupil unit would equal:
The coefficients for the sparsity and density indexes were taken directly from the model
developed for FY 2000, while the constant term was increased by 14.76 percent to match the
projected increase in transportation expenditures between FY 2000 and FY 2003, and expressed
as a percent of the FY 2003 formula allowance. As under current law, gross transportation
sparsity revenue would equal the district’s allowance per adjusted marginal cost pupil unit
(AMCPU) times the current year AMCPU.
Net transportation sparsity revenue would equal the greater of zero or the gross transportation
sparsity revenue minus 4.55 percent times the formula allowance times the district’s adjusted
marginal cost pupil units. (Note: the current subtraction factor of 4.85% would be reduced to
4.55% to adjust for the new regression results and the projected growth in transportation costs
between FY 2000 and FY 2003, compared with the formula allowance increase between FY
2000 and FY 2003, including the $415 transfer).
Total transportation sparsity revenue would increase from $56.6 million under current law to
$58.5 million, an increase of $1.9 million. The increase is much smaller tha n the increase under
Option 1 computed using FY 2000 data because transportation sparsity funding was increased at
a higher rate than the growth in transportation costs between FY 2000 and FY 2003 as a result of
the $415 transfer in FY 2003.
All districts would receive an increase under Option 1. The increase would range from only a
few cents in high density districts that qualify for essentially no transportation sparsity revenue,
up to $51 per pupil unit in South Koochiching County, which has the lowest population density
of any district in the state.
OPTION 2: Updated Data with High Density Districts Excluded From Regression Analysis
Like Option 1, Option 2 would retain the same structure as the current transportation sparsity
formula, but the formula would be changed to reflect regression coefficients determined when
high-density districts were excluded from the regression analysis.
xvi
Under Option 2, the gross transportation sparsity revenue per pupil unit would equal:
As under Option 1, gross transportation sparsity revenue would equal the district’s allowance per
AMCPU times the current year AMCPU, and net transportation sparsity revenue would equal the
greater of zero or the gross transportation sparsity revenue minus 4.55 percent times the formula
allowance times the district’s adjusted marginal cost pupil units.
OPTION 4: Per Pupil Transported Model
Option 4 would modify the structure of the transportation sparsity formula from an allowance per
pupil unit to an allowance per pupil transported, the sparsity and density indexes would be
computed using pupils transported instead of pupil units.
The gross transportation sparsity revenue per pupil transported would equal:
Under options 4, 5, and 6, gross transportation sparsity revenue would equal the district’s
allowance per pupil transported times the current year public and nonpublic pup ils transported in
the regular, excess and desegregation categories. Funding for nonpublic-regular transportation
would be rolled into transportation sparsity revenue, and nonpublic pupil transportation aid
would include funding only for nonpublic-nonregular transportation. Net transportation sparsity
revenue would equal the greater of zero or the gross transportation sparsity revenue minus 4.55
percent times the formula allowance times the district’s adjusted marginal cost pupil units.
OPTION 5: Per Pupil Transported Model With High Density Districts Excluded From
Regression Analysis
Option 5 would have the same structure as Option 4, but with different coefficients for the
sparsity and density indexes due to the exclusion of high density districts from the regression
analysis.
OPTION 6: Per Pupil Transported Model With Eligible Miles Per Pupil Transported Included
in Regression Formula
Option 6 would have the same structure as Options 4 and 5, but with a mileage factor added into
the regression formula and different coefficients for the sparsity and density indexes due to the
changes in the regression model.
[(Formula allowance * .0251) * (sparsity index**.12) * (density index**.07) *
(miles per pupil transported**.33) ].
xvii
As under Options 4 and 5, gross transportation sparsity revenue would equal the district’s
allowance per pupil transported times the current year public and nonpublic pupils transported in
the regular, excess and desegregation categories. Net transportation sparsity revenue would
equal the greater of zero or the gross transportation sparsity revenue minus 4.55 percent times the
formula allowance times the district’s adjusted marginal cost pupil units.
OPTION 7: 50% of Option 1 Plus 50% of Actual Cost
Under Option 7, a district’s initial transportation sparsity revenue would equal 50% of the
district’s initial transportation sparsity revenue under Option 1, plus the product of 50% of the
district’s actual cost in the base year, times the ratio of the formula allowance in the current year
to the formula allowance in the base year, times the ratio of the district’s pupil units in the
current year to the district’s pupil units in the base year.
The net transportation sparsity revenue would equal the greater of zero or the gross
transportation sparsity revenue minus 4.55 percent times the formula allowance times the
district’s adjusted marginal cost pupil units.
Fiscal Impact of FY 2003 Options
Appendix F shows the district-by-district impact of replacing the current transportation sparsity
formula with each of the six options in FY 2003. Two tables are provided; one showing the
change in total revenue, and the second showing the change in revenue per pupil unit. The table
below summarizes the cost of each option over current law.

The cost of providing a hold harmless under the various options varies with the degree of change
from current law. Because all districts would receive an increase under Option 1, there would be
no need for a hold harmless. Option 2 would make only minor changes from the current
approach; a hold harmless would cost only $0.3 million. The remaining options would all have
significant hold harmless costs, ranging from $8.4 million for Option 7 to $11.5 million for
Option 6, because of the major reallocation of funding that would result from changing to a per
pupil transported approach or using actual costs in the funding formula.
Categorical versus General Education Funding
In the current pupil transportation funding structure, most transportation funding (excluding
funding for nonpublic pupil transportation, disabled student transportation, and excess costs of
desegregation transportation) is included in the general education revenue program. Funding
attributable to pupil transportation includes transportation sparsity revenue and 4.85% of basic
xviii
revenue. These funds are not reserved for pupil transportation purposes; they can be used for
any general fund purpose. This structure is intended to maximize the flexibility that school
districts have in expending general fund resources. As school districts seek to resolve budget
challenges, pupil transportation must compete with other uses of general fund resources,
including classroom instruction, for resources. In recent years, some school districts have chosen
to reduce transportation services and costs in a variety of ways, (e.g., longer walking distances,
eliminating half-day kindergarten / noon kindergarten transportatio n, keeping school buses
longer), in order to preserve other priorities in the general fund (e.g., class sizes).
Six options were developed for allocating regular transportation revenue among school districts.
These options could be used either in the cur rent transportation funding structure or in a
categorical structure. Detailed calculations were done to show how each of these six options
could be used to redefine the calculation of transportation sparsity revenue for FY 2003 and later,
assuming that the current transportation funding structure would be maintained.
An alternative to this approach would be to use one of the six options as the basis for a
categorical pupil transportation formula. Under the categorical funding alternative, the
transportation sparsity component of general education revenue would be eliminated, and the
basic formula allowance would be reduced by 4.55% ($209 in FY 2003). The reduction in the
formula allowance would trigger a reduction in compensatory revenue and sparsity revenue,
unless an adjustment was made to fund these components based on the formula allowance plus
$209. A related issue would be whether the special education and integration revenue attributable
to transportation would be separated out and added to the categorical transportation aid.
Another alternative, in between the current structure and the separate categorical, would be to
keep regular transportation funding in the general education program, but to establish a separate
“transportation” component of general education funding that would combine the current
transportation sparsity component and the 4.55% of the basic formula. This approach would
more clearly identify the portion of general education revenue attributable to transportation,
without creating a separate categorical. As with the separate categorical, the reduction in the
formula allowance would trigger a reduction in compensatory revenue and sparsity revenue,
unless an adjustment was made to fund these components based on the formula allowance plus
$209.
A related issue is whether any restrictions should be placed on the use of revenue attributable to
transportation. Options here include:
•
•
•
•
Keeping transportation revenues and expenditures in the unreserved general fund;
Returning to a separate transportation fund in UFARS
Establishing a reserve account for transportation within the general fund, or
Keeping most transportation revenues and expenditures in the unreserved general fund,
but establishing a separate bus purchase account in the general fund, and requiring school
districts to make annual bus depreciation transfers to the bus purchase account.
The requirement of annual bus depreciation transfers could be done with or without a waiver
process. Under a waiver process, school districts meeting certain criteria, such as being in SOD
or maintaining a specified bus replacement schedule (e.g., 8 – 10 years), could apply to the
commissioner for authority to waive the transfer requirement.
xix
State and Local Shares of Transportation Funding
The analysis in this report generally assumed that pupil transportation would continue to be
funded primarily with state aid, supplemented with fees for certain transportation services, and
referendum levies / aids for districts with referendums that opt to use part of their referendum
revenue for this purpose.
Alternatively, a portion of transportation funding could come from property tax levies, as under
the pre-1997 funding system. This could include a uniform tax rate for basic transportation
services, and/or separate levies for specific types of services (e.g., bus purchase, excess
transportation, late activity bus). Since basic transportation is mandated for students residing
two or more miles from school, returning to a basic transportation levy would run counter to the
state takeover of basic education costs enacted in 2001.
Special Transportation Funding Options
Addressing Incentive for Improper Cost Allocation
The current practice of funding some transportation categories on an actual cost basis while other
transportation categories are funded without regard to actual cost creates an incentive to over-allocate
costs to categories where cost is a factor, and under-allocate cost to other categories. Anecdotal
evidence suggests that this is a growing problem with disabled transportation costs in Minnesota. Since
100% of disabled costs are included in the base special education funding formula, and other costs are
not used except for the relatively small nonpublic transportation aid, there is an incentive to allocate as
much as possible to the disabled category. To address this issue in the long term, it may be necessary to
(1) fund disabled transportation using formula variables other than actual cost, (2) return to a funding
system which factors in actual cost for other categories into funding levels, or (3) adopt a cost approval
process for special education transportation costs.
Addressing Inconsistency in Funding for Capital Costs
One hundred percent of operating costs for disabled student transportation are included in the base
revenue for the special education funding formula. The full cost of contracts for disabled student
transportation is funded, including the portion of the contract attributable to capital costs of vehicles
used by the contractor to provide this transportation. For district-owned operations, however,
depreciation on vehicles is excluded. Together with the cost allocation issue noted above, this creates an
incentive for districts to contract for disabled student transportation, even if this is not the most costeffective alternative. To make the funding system more neutral, the state should either include bus
depreciation on district-owned vehicles used for disabled student transportation as an eligible cost, or
exclude the portion of contract costs attributable to the cost of vehicles. The latter approach is used
elsewhere in the special education funding formula for contracted special education services: 68% of
teacher salaries are include in the base revenue, but only 52% of contracted costs are included, to help
recognize that the contract costs include a broader expenditure base (e.g., fringe benefits).
xx
Nonpublic And Charter School Costs vs. Funding
Together, Minneapolis and St Paul reported that their per pupil cost for nonpublic regular and excess
transportation was 1.69 times the district average for public regular and excess transportation (excluding
charter schools), and their cost for charter school transportation was 3.37 times their district average
public regular and excess transportation (excluding charter schools). Other groups of districts reported
only small average differences in per pupil costs between charter and nonpublic transportation and
regular/excess transportation to public schools, excluding charter schools. The current system funds
transportation to nonpublic and charter schools at the same rate as transportation to regular public
schools.
Options for addressing the nonpublic / charter school funding gap include:
•
Weighting nonpub lic pupils transported by Minneapolis and St. Paul at a level approaching the
reported ratio of nonpublic to public cost per pupil transported in the two districts (e.g., 1.5).
This would recognize the added costs of nonpublic pupil transportation in large districts that
need to transport nonpublic students to many different nonpublic schools within a large
geographic area. Since these are self- reported cost ratios from a survey instrument, further
analysis would be appropriate to verify the accuracy and reasonableness of the data.
•
Establishing a grant program to enable school districts to recover a portion of excess costs for
transporting students to charter schools.
•
Requiring charter schools to provide their own transportation, or allowing school districts to
charge back excess costs to charter schools, and establishing a grant program to enable charter
schools to recover a portion of excess costs for transporting students.
Public Transportation Options
The use of public transportation for transporting students to and from school has been mostly
limited to those programs that draw students from a very large geographical area. Public transit
has also been utilized primarily by secondary school aged students. Programs such as magnet
schools, charter schools, open enrollment, and nonpublic outside of the home district are prime
candidates for the use of public transportation.
When public transportation is used, several methods of funding have been tried. In some cases,
schools purchase tokens or bus passes for students. In some situations, the transit authority may
make passes available that are good only during non-peak hours. This method is used to ensure
that students who utilize the transportation service do not conflict with transportation of the
working public at peak transit periods. Public transit authorities generally provide student
transportation at favorable rates.
There are several factors that limit the use of public transportation for students. First, schools
and parents are hesitant to put younger students on transit buses because other passengers are not
screened before riding. In many cases, students will have longer walks to and from bus stops if
riding transit buses. This can occur on both ends of the ride. Time schedules for transit buses
xxi
are not planned to get student passengers to school at favorable times. On a public transit
system, many students will be required to transfer one or more times to get to the point nearest
their destination. Public transit drivers have lower standards of qualifications than school bus
drivers.
In general, public transportation is used to a high degree for those programs and/or situations
where the needs of the users match up with its unique characteristics.
Recommendations
1. Beginning in FY 2004, the coefficients in the transportation sparsity formula should be
updated based on analysis conducted using FY 2001 data.
2. In later years, the coefficients in the transportation sparsity formula should be reviewed based
on analysis of newer data at least once very four years, and updated as necessary.
3. Transportation funding should continue to be allocated as part of general education revenue
using a per pupil unit model, and not changed to a per pupil transported model. The per pupil
unit approach maximizes school district flexibility to include choices on the level of
transportation service in making overall general fund budget decisions. Recent experience
shows that school districts faced with budget cuts give careful consideration to reductio ns in
transportation service as an alternative to cuts in classroom instruction budgets. A per pupil
transported approach would reduce district flexibility to consider these options, because
funding would be reduced in proportion to any reduction in the number of students
transported.
4. Transportation funding should continue to be based on factors beyond local control, such as
population density. Use of actual cost or mileage would reward districts that have made local
decisions that result in higher costs or additional miles being driven. Funding based on
factors beyond local control enhances equity and maximizes local flexibility to include
choices on the level of transportation service in making overall general fund budget
decisions. Options based on actual costs or miles driven would reduce district flexibility to
consider options that would reduce the level of transportation service, because funding would
be reduced in proportion to any reduction in the number of students transported or miles
driven.
5. The transportation formula should not be adjusted to include topographic factors such as the
district shape index, road slope, or unpopulated areas (e.g., lakes, rivers, parks). While these
factors may affect transportation costs in some districts, adding these factors would not
significantly improve overall formula accuracy, but would add complexity to an already
complex formula.
6. The coefficients in the transportation sparsity formula should be adjusted to provide a more
uniform allocation of revenue in relation to costs among population density groups as
outlined in Option 2. Because revenue redistributions would be minimal, no hold-harmless
should be used.
xxii
7. Consideration should be given to requiring school districts owning vehicles to reserve a
portion of general education revenue for bus depreciation. The average age of school buses
has increased significantly since transportation funding was rolled into the general education
formula, as new vehicle purchases have been reduced. To retain local flexibility, school
districts should be allowed a waiver from the set-aside requirement if they demonstrate to the
commissioner that they have established a bus maintenance and replacement schedule that
will ensure continued safety.
8. The special education transportation formula should be adjusted to provide greater funding
equity between district-owned and contracted operations. This could be accomplished by
including bus depreciation for district-owned vehicles used primarily for special
transportation in authorized costs, or reducing the percentage of cost funded for contract
operations to exclude the amount generally attributable to bus depreciation. Since the state
total special education funding is capped, this change would be cost- neutral to the state.
9. Consideration should be given to establishing a small grant program to enable school districts
to recover a portion of excess costs for transporting students to nonpublic and charter
schools. Additional data would be needed to establish the cost of this transportation in
relation to the cost of regular transportation.
10. No changes are recommended in current laws relating to use of public transportation for
transporting pupils to and from school.

SECTION 1:
OVERVIEW
The 2001 Legislature, during the First Special Session, passed a law requiring the Department of
Children, Families & Learning to study specific transportation costs and prepare a report on the
findings for the 2002 Legislature.
More specifically, in Minnesota Session Laws 2001, First Special Session, Chapter 6, Article 1, is
found the following:
Sec. 51. [DIRECTION TO THE COMMISSIONER; TRANSPORTATION.]
(a) The commissioner of children, families, and learning must collect from each school
district data needed to examine pupil transportation costs for the following ridership
categories: regular, hazardous, disabled, nonpublic, charter schools, desegregation, noon
kindergarten, learning year summer and summer school, between schools, late activity,
enrollment options, student activity trips, safety requirements, and bus replacement.
(b) The commissioner, by February 15, 2002, must prepare a report on per pupil
transportation costs to the legislative committees responsible for kindergarten through grade
12 education finance. The report must:
(1) identify funding inequities;
(2) make recommendations for providing equitable transportation funding;
(3) consider changes in student demographics, attendance patterns, declining
enrollment, district topography, labor and fuel costs; and
(4) examine whether public transportation options can be used more effectively to
provide transportation services.
The commissioner must consult with transportation professionals throughout the state in
developing and preparing the report.
In preparing to comply with the law, Children, Families & Learning staff met several times to
determine what information would be required. They then determined what information was already
available within the department and what information would need to be gathered from outside sources.
A survey instrument was designed to gather certain information from districts. A public meeting was
scheduled on September 28, 2001 to gather information from school districts and school bus
contractors relative to the survey instrument. A list of participants for the September 28, 2001 meeting
appears in Appendix A. Those in attendance at the meeting were encouraged to submit additional
written comments to the department. The survey was modified to reflect certain recommendations
made at the public meeting and through written comments submitted to the department. The modified
survey was distributed electronically to school district transportation directors and school bus
contractors for additional comments before being distributed to all school districts and charter schools.
There was a 67% return on the survey. A copy of the survey and written comments received with
completed surveys can be found in Appendix B.
In order to gather information regarding the requirements concerning public transportation, the department
scheduled a meeting with representatives from school districts that were known or believed to be utilizing
public transportation. All charter schools were also invited to attend the meeting on public transportation.
The meeting was held on December 13, 2001. A summary of the meeting, including a list of participants, can
be found in Appendix A.
1
Report
The department also contracted with Minnesota Planning to obtain certain topographic information not already
available at the department. Minnesota Planning has a vast amount of information at its disposal. The
primary concern was to select the data items that would give the maximum amount of information suitable for
the transportation study. The items selected for the study included, but are not limited to: total miles of roads
by classes of roads; total miles of roads within four selected slope ranges; areas of lakes, streams and state
lands; areas of zero population; and circumference of the school districts. MN Planning completed its
analysis and provided data to the department in late January 2002.
On January 24, 2002, the department scheduled another public meeting to give interested persons an
opportunity to review the progress that had taken place and to make further suggestions before the study is
completed. School districts, charter schools, school bus contractors, public transportation officials, certain
legislators and legislative staff were invited to attend this meeting. Fifty-one (51) individuals were in
attendance for the meeting. A list of participants at the meeting can be found in Appendix A.
In early February 2002, department staff built a data base including information from ongoing transportation
and pupil accounting reports, the transportation survey, and the topographic data from MN Planning. Data
analysis was completed, breaking down FY 2000 transportation costs, mileage and various transportation
service indicators by school district strata. In addition, several topographic indexes were developed and
broken down into percentiles.
Next, changes in pupil transportation funding formulas since 1996 were reviewed, and trends in state total
pupil transportation costs and revenue attributable to transportation between FY 1996 and FY 2003 were
analyzed. To statistically assess the equity of transportation funding, the relationships between costs and
funding were broken down by various factors, to see if the ratio of revenue to cost varies significantly among
groups. The breakdowns were done by school district strata, economic development region, population
density category, percent of students transported to nonpublic schools category, topography category (as
measured by road slope), and enrollment growth/decline group. In addition, percentiles of transportation
revenue in relation to costs were calculated. Incentives to over allocate costs to certain transportation
categories, inconsistent funding for capital costs of disabled transportation between district-owned and
contracted operations, and under funding of charter school and nonpublic pupil transportation costs were also
examined as potential equity issues.
Finally, several transportation funding options were developed and assessed. The primary focus of this part of
the study was to develop options for allocating regular transportation funding among districts, using FY 2000
base data. Seven options were considered. These options range from simply updating the current formula to
reflect newer data to changing the basis for transportation funding from a rate per pupil unit to a rate per pupil
transported, and including topographic data, mileage, and actual costs in the formula calculations. Six of the
seven options were further developed to show how each option could be incorporated into general education
funding calculations for FY 2003. In addition, the issues involved with categorical versus general funding,
use of set-asides, and transportation levies were briefly reviewed. A brief summary of transportation funding
approaches used by other states (from a recent study sponsored by the National Center for Education Statistics
and the American Education Finance Association, http://nces.ed.gov/edfin/state_finance/StateFinancing.asp)
is also included in Appendix G.

Report
SECTION 2:
1999-2000 PUPIL TRANSPORTATION STATISTICS
Each year the Transportation Office of the Department of Children Families & Learning collects data
from school districts. These data include the number of students transported or eligible for
transportation, cost of providing transportation, annual miles driven by the districts and contractors to
transport students, and bus ownership data. This information is used to calculate funding for the
transportation of students with disabilities, nonpublic school students and for students transported to
desegregation or integration schools or programs.
Data on nonpublic students transported, bus ownership and annual mileage are collected on the Pupil
Transportation Annual Report. The cost of providing transportation services is collected through the
Uniform Financial Reporting and Accounting Standards (UFARS) data submissions. Public school
student transportation data are collected through the Minnesota Automated Reporting Student System
(MARSS).
Following is a brief summary of the data on each table:
Pupil Transportation Data – The table includes the different categories or types of transportation
services, the number of districts reporting data in the category, number of students transported for
some categories, and the cost of providing the transportation service.
Public and Nonpublic Students – The table includes a breakdown between public and nonpublic school
students for the to and from school transportation categories.
Mileage by Category – The table includes annual mileage by the different categories or types of
transportation services.
Mileage by Category and Type – The table includes a further breakdown of mileage by ownership and
further breakdowns for district ownership by vehicle type.
Bus Ownership and District-Owned Bus Fleet Values – The table on the top part of the page includes a
breakdown of bus ownership by public, contractor and nonpublic entities. Types A through D are
various sizes of yellow school buses. Type III school buses include cars, station wagons and vans with
maximum manufacturers rated seating capacity of 10 persons including the driver.
The Fleet Value table reflects data for district-owned fleets. The Regular Bus Inventory includes buses
owned by districts for eight years or less. The Type III Inventory includes buses owned by districts for
five years or less. Buses owned by school bus contractors and nonpublic schools are not included in
the fleet value.
Summary of District School Bus Purchases – The table includes the number of school bus purchases
by school districts. The purchases are further broken down by vehicle type, body make, chassis make,
passenger capacity, fuel type and whether the buses are new or used. Buses purchased by school bus
contractors and nonpublic schools are not included.

SECTION 3:
DATA ANALYSIS
Detailed school district tables can be found in Appendix C. Information in these tables includes the districts’ total transportation costs, costs by
category and topographical characteristics. The following tables analyze transportation costs, costs per pupil and other transportation related items
by strata. Data are for the FY 2000 school year. Definition of data items used in these tables can be found in Appendix B.
Table 1 shows the breakdown by strata of transportation costs, pupils transported, transportation miles and population density. Data reported by
school districts on UFARS, MARSS and the Pupil Transportation Annual Report was used for this analysis. Table 1 shows the statewide average
cost per student for regular/excess transportation is $257.96. This table also shows that with the exception of the urban districts, the smaller the
district the higher the cost per student. School districts with an enrollment less than 500 had an average cost of $378.44 per student compared to
$198.66 for the metro suburban school districts.
Desegregation costs per student transported are the highest in the metro suburban school districts with $1,241.72. The urban and outstate school
districts with enrollments of 2000 or more had much lower costs with $454.53 and $289.82 respectively.
Ninety-one percent of the states total public school students are eligible to be transported. The metro suburban school districts reported the highest
percentage of eligible students with 93.0% followed by outstate school districts with enrollments between 1000 and 1999 (92.7%) and urban districts
(91.5%).
Table 1 shows a wide variation in population density throughout the state. The highest concentration of students transported per square mile is in the
urban school districts with 891.90 students compared to the lowest concentration of 1.35 students transported per square mile for outstate districts
with enrollment less than 500.
Statewide, the regular/excess cost per mile is $2.34. Urban districts report the highest cost per mile with $3.79 and outstate school districts with
enrollment less than 500 report the lowest with $1.53. Cost per mile for desegregation is higher than for regular/excess with a state average of $3.66
per mile. The metro suburban school districts have a slightly higher cost per mile ($3.84) than the urban school districts ($3.67).
Note: The total number of students reported as transported or eligible for transportation and costs on the following tables do not agree with the
number of students reported and costs on pages 4 and 5 of this document. This is due to two factors. Charter schools that provide their own
transportation services were not included in the following tables. Most charter schools purchase bus passes to allow the students to ride city transit
lines. This information is not comparable with how other districts provide transportation services. Secondly, department audits of school districts’
transportation data resulted in the database being updated. The updated database was used to create the tables on the following pages. However, the
tables on pages 4 and 5 were not updated to reflect the audited numbers.

Report
Tables 2 through 5 reflect data that was reported on the Supplemental Survey. Approximately two thirds of the state’s school districts and charter
schools completed and returned this survey. Table 2 compares regular/excess transportation costs for public, charter and nonpublic students by
strata. This table shows the cost to transport excess students is about 80% of what it costs to transport regular students. The urban school districts
have the lowest ratio with .71. Outstate school districts with enrollment less than 500 have the highest ratio with .98.
Comparison of regular/excess costs to charter school costs shows that for the state as a whole it costs almost twice as much to transport charter school
students. For urban school districts it costs 3 times as much and for the metro suburban school district it costs about 1 1/4 as much.
Statewide, the cost to transport nonpublic students is the same as for regular/excess public students. However, urban school districts reported a much
higher cost with a ratio of 1.69. The lowest ratio occurred in outstate districts with an enrollment between 500 and 999 with 0.83.

Table 3 shows bus driver compensation by strata. The statewide average hourly salary for bus drivers was $14.32. Outstate school districts in the
three smallest enrollment strata reported a higher hourly wage than the large r school districts. The same trend is true for average hourly benefits.
The statewide average for hourly benefits was $2.07.
Almost 70% of the states full-time bus drivers received benefits. All of the full- time bus drivers in the urban school districts received benefits
followed by 82% in the metro suburban school districts. Outstate school districts with enrollment of 2000 or more reported the lowest percentage
with 43%. Only 38 percent of the state’s part-time bus drivers received benefits. The urban school districts reported no part-time bus drivers
receiving benefits. The metro suburban and outstate school districts with enrollments less than 500 reported the highest percentage with over 50
percent of their part-time drivers receiving benefits.

Table 5 looks at transportation trends between 1995-96 and 1999-2000. For this period, there was little change in the average number of runs on
regular bus routes. In 1995-96, the statewide average was 2.50 compared to 2.55 in 1999-2000. For 1999-2000, the urban school districts reported
the most runs with 7.50 followed by the metro suburban school districts with 4.37. Outstate school districts with enrollment between 500-999 and
less than 500 had an average of 2 runs.
Statewide, the average length of time of regular bus routes increased from 85.57 minutes to 88.14 minutes. This is an increase of 2.57 minutes. All
strata groups, except for the urban districts reported an increase in the average length of time. For 1999-2000, the urban districts reported the longest
average length of time with 233.50 minutes. The shortest average length of time was reported by the outstate school districts with enrollment less
than 500 with 74.09 minutes.
Table 5 also shows that the average ride time increased for all grade levels, although not significantly. The statewide average ride time reported in
1999-2000 for elementary students was 46.17 minutes; for middle school students 47.43 minutes; and for secondary students 47.06 minutes. The
shortest average ride time for all grade levels was reported by the urban districts followed by the metro suburban districts. Outstate school districts
with enrollment between 500 and 999 reported the longest average ride time for all grade levels.
Statewide, the average number of early dismissal days increased .40 days to 1.90 days. All strata groups except for the urban districts reported a
small increase.
The statewide average age of buses increased from 5.36 years to almost 6 years. All strata groups reported an increase. The urban districts reported
the largest increase with the average age increasing by 1 year. The metro suburban school districts reported the smallest increase with an increase of
.4 years
There was little or no change from 1995-96 to 1999-2000 in the average distance to pick up points for all strata groups. For 1999-2000, the statewide
average distance required of students to walk to their pick up point was .21 miles.
From 1995-96 to 1999-2000, there was almost no change in the percent of school districts that transport their resident students to the school of choice
within their district. All districts in the urban, suburban and larger outstate school districts reported providing transportation during this period. For
1999-2000, a higher percentage of the smaller districts provided transportation than in 1995-96. The statewide average for 1999-2000 was 99.6%
The percent of districts traveling outside district boundaries to transport enrollment options students also showed little change from 1995-96 to 19992000. There was no reported change for the urban, suburban and the larger outstate school districts. For 1999-2000, a higher percentage of the
smaller outstate school districts reported traveling outside their boundaries to transport enrollment options students. The statewide average for 199900 was 99.6%.

The following table shows that over the past ten years, school districts have purchased fewer school buses. The Bloomington School District
purchased an entire bus fleet during the 1999-00 school year. Before that time, the district contracted for its bus service. Excluding Bloomington’s
bus purchases so that there is comparable data among the years, only 306 buses were purchased during the 1999-00 school year. From the 1993-94
school year (the first year miles traveled on district-owned buses is available) to the 1999-00 school year, the total miles traveled on district-owned
buses increased by 4,070,860 miles.

SECTION 4:
TRANSPORTATION FUNDING OVERVIEW
A. Summary of Funding Formulas: FY 1996 - FY 2003
FY 1996 – FY 1996 was the last year of separate categorical funding for pupil transportation,
before the roll- in of transportation funding to the general education formula, enacted by the 1995
Legislature, took effect in FY 1997. Transportation funding categories for FY 1996 included the
following:
•
Regular Transportation Revenue – A district’s regular transportation revenue was equal to the
district’s regular transportation allowance times the number of pupils transported in the regular,
desegregation, and handicapped categories during the current school year. The regular
transportation allowance was determined in several steps as follows:
- Predicted base cost per pupil transported was determined for each district based on a
statutory formula derived from regression analysis, in which cost per pupil transported was
predicted based on pupils transported per square mile and a contract transportation factor.
- The adjusted predicted base cost, determined for each district using a “base year softening
formula,” was equal to the average of the district’s actual base cost (cost per pupil
transported) and the district’s predicted base cost, but not less than 80% or more than 105%
of the actual base cost.
- The transportation allowance was equal to the adjusted predicted base cost times a
statutory inflation factor. For FY 1996, the inflation factor was set at 1.00 (no inflation).
•
Nonregular Transportation Revenue – A district’s nonregular transportation revenue was equal
to the lesser of the district’s actual current year cost for nonregular transportation or the
district’s actual cost in the base year (second prior year) for nonregular transportation, times the
ratio of the ADM in the current year to the ADM in the base year, times a statutory inflation
factor, minus the amount of regular transportation revenue generated by students in the
desegregation and handicapped categories. For FY 1996, the inflation factor was set at 1.00
(no inflation).
•
Excess Nonregular Transportation Revenue – A district’s excess nonregular transportation
revenue was equal to 80% of the difference between the districts actual cost in the current year
and the nonregular transportation revenue.
•
The regular, nonregular and excess nonregular transportation revenues were funded with a
combination of state transportation aid, a basic transportation levy, a nonregular transportation
levy, and a contracted transportation levy.
•
Bus Depreciation Reserve and Levy – School districts owning school buses were required to
annually reserve an amount equal to 12.5% of the original cost of type 1 and type 2 buses until
fully amortized, plus 20% of the cost of type 3 vehicles until fully amortized. School districts
were allowed to levy for the difference between the cost of vehicles and the balance in the bus
depreciation account.
•
Transportation safety aid, reserved for safety purposes, was equal to the greater of $500 or
$1.50 times the district’s pupil units.
20
Report
•
Excess transportation levy was based on the lesser of the regular transportation allowance or
the actual cost per weighted pupil transported in the excess category (secondary 1 to 2 mile and
extraordinary hazards) times the number of weighted students transported in the excess
category during the current year, plus the cost of related services (e.g., adult crossing guards).
•
Late activity bus levy was equal to the lesser of the actual cost or 2% of the district’s regular
and nonregular transportation revenue.
•
Transportation Fund – Transportation revenues and expenditures were recorded in a separate
transportation fund in UFARS.
•
Leased Facility – When the transportation patterns of a district changed as a result of leasing a
school building in another district, the district could levy for any increase in transportation cost
above the cost that would have occurred without the leasing of the school.
•
Post-Secondary Agreement – School districts were allowed to levy for the transportation of
secondary pupils enrolled in courses provided under an agreement between a school board and
a post-secondary institution.
•
Enrollment Options Transportation – Provides state aid to school districts which reimburse
eligible students for transportation expenses incurred while enrolled in the Post-Secondary
Enrollment Options, School District Enrollments Options or Results-Oriented Charter Schools
programs.
•
Interdistrict Desegregation Transportation Aid – Reimbursement for transportation to and from
interdistrict desegregation programs and for transporting students open enrolled into another
district if the enrollment of the student in the nonresident district contributes to desegregation.
FY 1997 and FY 1998 – Between FY 1996 and FY 1999, Minnesota’s approach to pupil
transportation was changed from maintaining a separate system of categorical aids and levies to
incorporating pupil transportation funding into the overall funding for general education, special
education and integration / desegregation programs. This change was intended to increase local
flexibility in the use of resources and strengthen incentives for cost efficient operations. The
change took place in two phases. Beginning in FY 1997, funding for public non-disabled students
was included within the general education revenue and the separate Pupil Transportation Fund was
eliminated.
While not reserved for transportation purposes, the portion of general education revenue
attributable to transportation includes:
•
4.85% of Basic General Education Revenue – Originally $170 per pupil unit in FY 1997, the
first year of the roll- in, this amount had increased to $181 per pupil unit for FY 2000.
•
Transportation Sparsity Revenue – Allowance per pupil unit is determined for each district
based on a statutory formula derived from regression analysis, in which cost per pupil unit was
predicted based on pupil units per square mile. The statutory formula coefficients are based on
regression analysis completed using FY 1994 data, but the allowance for each district is
updated annually based on changes in the formula allowance and the number of pupil units –
each district’s allowance per pupil unit increases as the formula allowance increases and as the
21
Report
district’s enrollment declines, thereby lowering pupil units per square mile. Transportation
sparsity revenue is the difference between the formula-predicted cost and the amount included
in basic revenue. For most metro districts, the transportation sparsity allowance is near zero;
the allowance increases as population density decreases.
•
Transportation Transition Revenue – Districts that received more transportation funding per
pupil unit under the categorical transportation formula in FY 1996 than under the “roll- in,”
receive transportation transition revenue to cover the difference between the district’s FY 1996
categorical revenue per pupil unit and the current year revenue per pupil unit under the roll- in.
For FY 1997 only, districts receiving more than a 10% increase under the roll- in received a
negative transportation transition adjustment to phase in the revenue increase. Beginning in FY
2003, transition revenue is eliminated as a separate revenue category, and is converted to
referendum and /or basic revenue as part of the $415 referendum transfer.
For FY 1997 and FY 1998 only, funding for disabled, nonpublic and integration students was
calculated with the Targeted Needs formula.
A district's targeted needs transportation revenue for disabled children equaled the sum of :
(1) the district's actual cost in the second preceding year for the transportation of children with
disabilities times the ratio of the district's average daily membership for the current school
year to the district's average daily membership for the second preceding year, plus
(2) 80% of the difference between the district's actual cost in the current year for special
programs transportation and the amount computed in paragraph 1.
The integration portion of targeted needs revenue equaled $158 per weighted average daily
membership (WADM) for Minneapolis, $73 per WADM for St. Paul and $4 per WADM for
Duluth. These allowances were established to reflect the estimated nonregular funding these
districts would have received for desegregation transportation for F.Y 1997 under the current law
at the time.
Targeted needs transportation revenue for nonpublic students equaled the sum of regular, excess
and nonregular funding for the transportation of nonpublic students:
(1) Regular and excess revenue was an amount equal to the product of:
The district's actual cost per public and nonpublic pupil transported in the regular and
excess categories for the second preceding year, times
The number of nonpublic pupils receiving regular and excess transportation in the current
year, times
The ratio of the formula allowance for the current year to the formula allowance for the
second preceding year.
(2) Nonpublic nonregular revenue equaled the district's actual cost in the second preceding year
for during-day transportation between schools and late transportation home from school for
students involved in after school activities times the ratio of the formula allowance for the
current year to the formula allowance for the second preceding year.
22
Report
The Targeted Needs transportation levy equaled 28% of the sum of a district's special
programs and integration revenue time the lesser of 1 or the ratio of the district's ANTC per
WADM to $ 3,540. State aid equaled the difference between the revenue and the levy.
The Targeted Needs formula was discontinued after FY 1998.
For taxes payable in 1998 only, districts with a June 30, 1996 deficit in their bus purchase account
were allowed to make a one-time levy to eliminate the deficit.
FY 1999 and Later – Funding for general transportation purposes continues to be included in the
general education revenue as described above, while funding for disabled student transportation is
included in special education aid and funding for desegregation transportation is included in
integration revenue. Nonpublic pupil transportation aid provides funding for nonpublic pupil
transportation.
•
Special Education Revenue – 100 percent of actual second prior year cost for disabled student
transportation, (UFARS Finance code 723), is included in base revenue for regular special
education formula. Adjusted base revenue equals the base revenue times the ratio of the
district’s ADM in the current year to the district’s ADM in the base (second prior) year. A
district’s special education aid equals the ratio of the district’s adjusted base revenue to the
state total adjusted base revenue, times the statutory state total special education revenue.
•
Special Education Excess Cost Revenue – 75% of the difference between the district’s
unreimbursed special education cost for the current fiscal year (including transportation) and
4.36% of the general education revenue of the district. Beginning in FY 2002, the state total
for this revenue is also set in law.
•
Integration Revenue – For FY 1997, a separate categorical for integration transportation was
provided to Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Duluth. The amounts were $158 per pupil unit for
Minneapolis, $73 per pupil unit for St. Paul, and $4 per pupil unit for Duluth. These amounts
were based on the integration transportation funding previously provided through the
transportation formula. Beginning in FY 1999, integration transportation revenue was rolled
into the overall integration revenue formula. For FY 2000, the combined allowances were
$536 for Minneapolis, $446 for St. Paul, and $207 for Duluth. More recently, other districts
required to file desegregation plans have qualified for revenue. The allowance for Minneapolis
was reduced to $446 per pupil unit, beginning in FY 2003.
•
Nonpublic Pupil Transportation Aid – Regular funding equals the district’s cost per public and
nonpublic pupil transported in the regular and excess categories in the second prior year times
the number of nonpublic pupils transported in the current year times the ratio of the formula
allowance for the current year to the formula allowance for the second prior year. Nonregular
funding equals the district’s cost for nonpublic nonregular transportation (e.g., between schools
during the day) in the second prior year times the ratio of the formula allowance for the current
year to the formula allowance for the second prior year.
Separate categorical funding continues to be provided for enrollment options transportation and
interdistrict desegregation transportation.

B. State Total Transportation Funding and Costs by Category: FY 1996 – FY 2003
Table 8 provides a breakdown of revenue attributable to pupil transportation and “authorized”
transportation costs for FY 1996 – FY 2003. Data for FY 1996 – FY 2000 are actuals; data for FY
2001 – FY 2003 are estimates. “Authorized” transportation costs are the costs of transportation
services authorized for categorical funding in FY 1996. This exc ludes the costs of transportation
services not eligible for categorical funding in FY 1996, such as activity trips, field trips,
transportation of ineligible students, open enrollment transportation outside of the district, and nonlearning year summer school transportation. Because school bus depreciation is calculated using
original purchase prices instead of replacement costs, an adjustment factor has been added to the
bus depreciation line to reflect the gap between bus depreciation and the cost of bus replacements
(previously funded with bus purchase levy).

Report
For FY 1996, the last year of categorical funding, state total transportation revenue was $287
million, or 98.1% of total authorized transportation costs. During FY 1997 and FY 1998, the first
two years of the “roll- in,” the general fund revenue attributable to transportation increased more
rapidly than transportation costs, as districts with relatively low transportation costs and low
categorical funding (compared to other districts having similar population density) received
significant increases, while districts with relatively high transportation costs and high categorical
funding were he ld harmless with transition revenue. State total revenue attributable to
transportation was 100.2% of costs in FY 1997, and 102.0% of costs in FY 1998.
Between FY 1998 and FY 1999, the general fund revenue attributable to transportation remained
flat, while transportation costs increased 3.5%, thereby reducing the revenue as a percent of costs
to 98.5%. This was attributable to two factors. First, training & experience revenue was rolled out
of the basic formula, thereby reducing the base for calculating 4.85% of basic revenue and
transportation sparsity revenue. Second, the roll- in of disabled student transportation into the
special education formula reduced the funding for excess costs of this transportation because (1)
the special education excess cost formula uses a lower reimbursement percentage, (2) state total
special education funding is capped, and (3) the transportation excess cost formula had no
deduction for general education revenue, while the special education excess cost formula does have
a deduction. Because of the deduction, districts with low overall excess special education costs no
longer qualify for excess cost aid on their excess transportation costs.
From FY 1999 – FY 2003, the general fund revenue attributable to transportation is projected to
grow more slowly than transportation costs, increasing the gap between formula revenue
attributable to transportation and costs to $17.2 million by FY 2003. Districts may choose to fill
this gap by reducing transportation services, increasing fees, or cross-subsidizing transportation
costs with other general fund revenues. The impact of the $415 transfer on basic revenue is
excluded from the calculations for FY 2003 because, for districts with existing referendum
revenue, the $415 trans fer did not generate any new money, but simply transferred referendum
revenue (which was committed to other purposes) to the basic formula. If 4.85% of the full basic
revenue, including the $415 transfer, is included in the analysis, the gap between transportation
funding and costs would be eliminated, and total revenue attributable to transportation would
exceed projected costs for FY 2003 by $1.6 million. However, this would assign 4.85% of the
referendum revenue transferred to the basic formula to transportation, thereby creating a funding
gap for other general fund programs.
While this study makes an effort to compare the general fund revenue attributable to transportation
with authorized transportation costs, certain caveats should be noted. School districts are not
required to reserve or expend the general fund revenue attributable to transportation for pupil
transportation purposes. Fees charged for transportation services previously funded through aid
and levy are not reflected. While this study attempts to track the funding added to the general
education, special education and integration formulas to replace categorical transportation aids and
levies, the tracking becomes more tenuous with the passage of time. For example, the roll- in and
roll-out of various funding components from the general education formula makes comparisons
difficult. The roll-out of T&E revenue, the roll- in of graduation standards revenue and district
cooperation revenue, and the increases in the portion of basic revenue reserved for class size
reduction since FY 1997 are not adjusted for in this analysis.

SECTION 5:
TRANSPORTATION FUNDING – EQUITY ISSUES
A. Transportation Costs vs. Funding by District Category: FY 2000
(Excluding Disabled, Desegregation)
To analyze the equity of funding for regular transportation through the general education program,
FY 2000 authorized transportation costs, (excluding the cost of transporting students with
disabilities and ½ of the cost of integration/desegregation transportatio n, which are funded
separately), were compared with FY 2000 revenues provided through the transportation sparsity
formula and 4.85% of the basic revenue. Breakdowns were calculated by school district strata,
population density categories, economic development regions, enrollment change groupings, road
mile slope groupings, and groups broken down by nonpublic school students transported as a
percent of total students transported.
•
Breakdown by Strata – State total revenue under the current funding system equals 97% of
cost for FY 2000. Revenue as a percent of cost is nearly uniform among school district
strata. Minneapolis / St. Paul and metro suburbs have nearly 99% of their costs funded on
average, while non metro districts are funded on average at a slightly lower percentage of
cost, ranging from a low of 95% in districts with enrollment between 500 and 999 to a high
of 97% in districts with enrollment below 500.
•
Breakdown by Economic Development Region – Average funding as a percent of cost
ranges from a low of 81% in the Headwaters region (North Central) to a high of 111% in
the South Central region. Districts in the central part of the state, including economic
development regions 6E, 7E and 7W, also show relatively low funding in relation to cost,
ranging from 85 – 89%.
•
Breakdown by Density Category – Districts with 200 or more students per square mile are
funded at the highest average percent of cost (102.6%), while districts with 20 – 199
students per square mile are funded at the lowest average percent of cost (92.4%). More
sparsely populated districts are funded on average at 95 – 96% of costs. A review of
scatterplots showing the relationship between population density and cost per pupil
suggests that districts with more than 200 students per square mile have significantly lower
average cost per pupil than districts with 20 to 100 students per square mile, but the current
density formula picks up only a fraction of this differential. There are very few districts
with between 100 and 200 students per square mile.
•
Breakdown by Percent of Pupils Transported to Nonpublic Schools – Districts with very
high and very low concentrations of nonpublic school pupils receive less aggregate funding
as a percent of actual costs than districts with average concentrations of nonpublic school
pupils. Districts with fewer than 5% of pupils transported to nonpublic school receive the
lowest aggregate transportation revenue as a percent of costs (92.7%), while districts with
10 to 15% of pupils transported to no npublic schools receive the highest aggregate revenue
as a percent of costs (105.1%).
28
Report
•
Breakdown by Topography (Road Slope) – There is not a significant relationship between
percent of costs funded by the current formula and road slope. Districts with more than
20% of road miles with greater than a 5 degree slope receive average funding of 99% of
costs, or slightly over the state average of 97%.
•
growing enrollment show a significantly lower average funding percentage (91%) than
other groups. For other groups, there appears to be little relationship between enrollment
gain or loss and percent of costs funded. It appears that the current sparsity formula, which
automatically generates a higher rate per student as population density declines due to
declining enrollment, is adequately adjusting for declining enrollment. The relatively low
rate of funding appears to be related to the density issue described above – many districts
with rapidly growing enrollment are in suburban fringe, with population density falling in
the 20 – 100 pupils per square mile range.

C. Incentive to Over-Allocate Cost to Disabled Category
The current system provides funding for disabled transportation on an actual cost basis, while other
transportation is funded without regard to actual cost. Since 100% of disabled costs are included in
the base revenue for the special education funding formula, and other costs are not used except for
the relatively small nonpublic transportation aid, there is an incentive to over-allocate costs to the
disabled category, and under-allocate cost to other categories. Anecdotal evidence and limited
audit findings suggest that this is a growing problem in Minnesota. While cost allocation
procedures specify the appropriate methods to charge costs and provide a standard for audit of
district operations, it is more difficult to challenge contracts if costs appear unusually high for
disabled transportation and unusually low for regular transportation.
D. Inconsistent Funding for Capital Costs of Disabled Transportation That are Included in
Contract/Lease vs. Use of District Vehicles
100% of operating costs for disabled student transportation are included in the base revenue for the special
education funding formula. The full cost of contracts for disabled student transportation is funded,
including the portion of the contract attributable to vehicles used by the contractor to provide this
transportation. For district-owned operations, however, depreciation on vehicles is excluded. Together
with the cost allocation issue noted above, this creates an incentive for districts to contract for disabled
student transportation, even if this is not the most cost-effective alternative.
E. Nonpublic and Charter School Costs vs. Funding
According to our survey data and anecdotal reports, the per pupil cost of transporting students to charter
and nonpublic schools can be significantly higher than the per pupil cost of transporting students to regular
district schools. This is especially the case in large urban districts where students are drawn from a large
geographic area. Together, Minneapolis and St. Paul reported that their per pupil cost for nonpublic
transportation was 1.69 times the district average, and their cost for charter school transportation was 3.37
times their district average. Other groups of districts reported only small average differences in per pupil
costs between charter and nonpublic transportation and regular transportation. The current system funds
transportation to nonpublic and charter schools at the same rate as transportation to regular public schools.

SECTION 6:
TRANSPORTATION FUNDING OPTIONS
Issues to be addressed in designing a funding formula include:
•
•
•
•
The method used to determine the allocation of revenue among school districts,
The breakdown of total funding between state aids, local property taxes and other revenue
sources (e.g., fees),
The setting in which the formula will be placed (e.g., part of the general education formula or a
separate categorical), and
Any restrictions to be placed on the use of revenue (e.g., set-asides).
This study focuses primarily on developing and analyzing alternative methods for allocating revenue
among school districts. This is the most difficult issue of the four and requires the most research and
analysis. Decisions on which method to use for allocating revenue are largely independent of
decisions about how much will come from aids versus levies, whether to include the funding in the
general education program or create a separate categorical, and whether to place restrictions on
revenue use.
The first part of this section examines seven options for allocating regular transportation revenue
among districts, using FY 2000 data. For purposes of this analysis, regular transportation includes all
transportation categories eligible for funding in the pre-1997 categorical formula, excluding special
transportation services for disabled students and the excess cost of desegregation transportation, which
are funded separately. Three options would continue to fund transportation on a per pupil unit basis,
and three would shift to a per pupil transported basis. A seventh option, which included topographic
factors in the formula, was attempted on both a per pupil unit basis and a per pupil transported basis,
but was not found to significantly improve predictive accuracy and was not fully developed.
The next part of this section demonstrates how six of these seven options could be used to redefine the
calculation of transportation sparsity revenue, based on estimated data for FY 2003. District by district
calculations are done, and the statewide fiscal impact is determined.
Finally, a few observations are made concerning the breakdown of revenue between state aids and
local property taxes, the setting in which the formula would be placed, and potential restrictions on
revenue use.
A. Options for Allocating Regular Transportation Funding Based on FY 2000 Data
The current transportation funding method allocates reve nue on a per pupil unit basis; the amount
of revenue per pupil unit varies based on the number of square miles per pupil unit. The formula is
based on regression analysis done in 1995 which evaluated the relationship between transportation
cost per pupil unit and square miles per pupil unit. Since 1995, the formula has been linked to the
general education formula, which automatically adjusts transportation sparsity funding for inflation
at the same rate as basic general education revenue is adjusted.
All of the options considered in this section would update the regression analysis done in 1995
using FY 2000 data. Options 1, 2, and 7 would retain the current per pupil unit funding approach.
Option 1 would retain the current formula, and simply update the coefficients used to determine
transportation sparsity revenue using regression analysis conducted using FY 2000 data. Option 2
32

would be similar to Option 1, but would substitute formula coefficients developed using a
regression model which excludes high density districts, (which do not receive transportation
sparsity revenue), in an effort to improve the fit between average costs by density group and
formula funding by density group. Option 7 would fund school districts based on 50% of the
Option 1 formula and 50% of the district’s actual cost.
Options 4, 5, and 6 would shift from the current per pupil unit approach to a per pupil transported
approach. Under these options, the transportation sparsity allowance would become a rate per
pupil transported, instead of a rate per pupil unit. Option 4 would continue to use sparsity and
density indexes similar to current law, but with the indexes based on square miles per pupil
transported, instead of square miles per pupil unit. Option 5 would be similar but, like Option 2,
would substitute formula coefficients developed using a regression model which excludes high
density districts, (which do not receive transportation sparsity revenue), in an effort to improve the
fit between average costs by density group and formula funding by density group. Option 6 would
be similar to Option 4, but would add eligible miles per pupil transported as a factor in the formula,
along with the density and sparsity indexes.
These options are just a few of the innumerable possibilities that could be used.
OPTION 1: Maintain Current Formula Structure – Update Transportation Sparsity
Formula Coefficients Based on Regression Analysis using FY 2000 Data.
The current transportation sparsity formula is based on analysis of the relationship between
population density (Resident Weighted ADM per Square Mile) and transportation cost per resident
WADM completed during the 1995 legislative session using FY 1994 data. Transportation sparsity
revenue per pupil unit is adjusted each year for changes in each district’s WADM and for changes
in the formula allowance. In districts with declining enrollment, the allowance per pupil unit is
increased each year to reflect the lower population density. The allowance per pupil unit is also
increased each year as the formula allowance is inflated.
However, the transportation sparsity formula has not been adjusted since the 1995 session for
changes in the underlying relationship between population density and cost per pupil unit. To
update this analysis, regression analysis was completed using FY 2000 data. For purposes of this
analysis, the cost excludes the cost of nonpublic and disabled student transportation, and one- half
of the cost of desegregation transportation, which are funded separately. Transportation categories
included are regular, excess (including FIN 719), noon kindergarten, learning year summer, late
activity bus, between schools-public, and one- half of desegregation. Bus depreciation is increased
by 33% to adjust for the impact of the bus levy. This reflects the methodology used during the
1995 legislative session.
Regression statistics and scatterplots showing the relationship between cost per pupil unit and
population density are included in Appendix D (See Regression Output: Option 1, and Graphs 1,
2, and 4) . Appendix E includes a spreadsheet showing district-by-district changes in predicted
cost per pupil unit, compared with current law. Two sets of runs were done, one weighting the
districts based on the number of pupil units and a second without weightings for district size. The
regression coefficients from the two runs were averaged and the constant term was rounded up to
generate state total formula revenue within $1 million of state total actual cost. Minnesota
Statutes, Section 126C.10, subdivision 18, would be amended to use .1609 as the constant instead
of .1469, to use 28/100 instead of 26/100 as the coefficient for the sparsity index, and to use 14/100
33
Report
instead of 13/100 as the coefficient for the density index. For FY 2003 and later, consideration
would need to be given to reducing the constant term to offset the impact of the $415 referendum
roll- in into the general education formula.
Compared with the current formula, the new analysis produces a higher constant term and higher
coefficients for the sparsity and density indexes. The base funding for high density districts would
be about the same as in current law, but the slope of the line indicating the increase in cost per
pupil unit as density decreases would be steeper (See Graph 4). Translated into revenue per pupil
unit terms, the updated analysis would provide slightly more revenue to districts with high
population density and significantly more revenue to districts with low population dens ity. Using
the FY 2000 formula allowance and pupil units in the model, the highest density districts would
gain about $1 per pupil unit, while the lowest density district in the state, South Koochiching,
would gain $73 per pupil unit. The increases decrease rapidly as population density increases. The
average increase would be about $6 per pupil unit, or $6,037,000. This suggests that, between FY
1994 and FY 2000, transportation cost per pupil unit increased more rapidly in sparsely populated
districts than in densely populated districts. This may be due in part to a greater impact of cost
drivers such as fuel prices in sparsely populated districts, and in part to more substantial changes
being made in densely populated districts to curtail costs. Generally speaking, high density
districts have had greater opportunities to reduce transportation costs through policy changes such
as increasing walking distances to bus stops, increasing the distance from home to school required
to be transported, and cha nging school start times to permit more runs per bus.
To analyze the potential impact of Option 1 on the equity of regular transportation funding, the
funding that would have been generated for each district in FY 2000 based on Option 1 was
compared with FY 2000 expenditure data. Breakdowns were calculated by school district strata,
•
Breakdown by Strata – State total revenue under the Option 1 would have equaled 99.7% of
actual cost for FY 2000. Revenue as a percent of cost would have remained nearly uniform
among school district strata. Aggregate funding for Minneapolis / St. Paul and metro suburbs
would have covered between 99% and 100% of aggregate costs, while funding for non metro
districts would have ranged from a low of 98.6% of aggregate costs in districts with enrollment
over 2000 to a high of 103.3% of aggregate costs in districts with enrollment below 500.
•
Breakdown by Economic Development Region – All regions would have received increases
compared with current law, with the largest increases going to regions with low population
density and the smallest increases going to the metro area. Average funding as a percent of
cost would have ranged from a low of 85% in the Headwaters region (North Central MN) to a
high of 114% in the South Central region. Districts in the central part of the state, including
economic development regions 6E, 7E and 7W, would continue to show relatively low funding
in relation to cost, ranging from 88 – 92%.
•
Breakdown by Density Category – While use of updated data in the current model would he lp
match up the aggregate costs and revenues for districts in the lower population density ranges,
districts with 20 – 199 pupil units per square mile would continue to have a significantly
smaller portion of their aggregate costs funded than districts in other density groups, while
districts with more than 200 pupil units per square mile would have more than 100% of their
34
Report
aggregate costs funded. Districts with 200 or more students per square mile would have been
funded at the highest average percent of cost (103.2%), while districts with 20 – 199 students
per square mile would have been funded at the lowest average percent of cost (94.4%).
Aggregate funding for more sparsely populated districts would have been very close to 100%
of actual costs.
•
Breakdown by Percent of Pupils Transported to Nonpublic Schools – As under current law,
districts with very high and very low concentrations of nonpublic school pupils receive less
aggregate funding as a percent of actual costs than districts with average concentrations of
nonpublic school pupils. Districts with more than 15% of pupils transported to nonpublic
schools receive the lowest aggregate funding as a percent of cost (95.8%), while districts with
fewer than 5% of students transported to nonpublic schools receive the next lowest aggregate
funding as a percent of cost (96.8%). Districts with between 5 and 15% of students transported
to nonpublic schools receive aggregate funding that slightly exceeds aggregate costs.
•
Breakdown by Topography (Road Slope) – As under current law, there is not a significant
relationship between percent of costs that would have been funded under Option 1 and road
slope. Districts with more than 20% of road miles with a slope greater than 5 degrees or more
receive average funding of 103.4% of costs, or slightly over the state average of 99.7%.
•
Breakdown by Enrollment Change (FY 1996 – FY 2000) Group – All groups would have
received increases, with the largest increases over current law going to districts with declining
enrollment (correlated with low population density). Districts with rapidly growing enrollment
would continue to show a significantly lower average funding percentage (92%) than other
groups. For other groups, there appears to be little relationship between enrollment gain or loss
and percent of costs funded. As under current law, the relatively low rate of funding for
rapidly growing districts appears to be related to the density issue described above – many
districts with rapidly growing enrollment are in suburban fringe, with population density falling
in the 20 – 100 pupils per square mile range.

OPTION 2: Maintain Current Formula Structure – Update Transportation Sparsity
Formula Coefficients Based on Regression Analysis using FY 2000 Data, But Exclude High
Density Districts from Regression Model and Set Predicted Cost for High Density Districts
Equal to FY 2000 Average Cost for These Districts
Under current law and Option 1, aggregate funding for districts with between 20 and 199 pupil
units per square mile is significantly lower as a percentage of actual cost than for other density
groups. Analysis of scatterplots (see Graphs 1 and 2) and district by district runs sorted by
population density indicate that:
•
There are no districts with between 126 and 210 pupil units per square mile,
•
Average cost per pupil unit in districts with 200 or more pupils per square mile is significantly
lower than average cost per pupil unit in districts with 40 to 126 pupil units per square mile,
and
•
The current regression model adjusts for only a small portion of the average cost difference
between these groups.
Because of the significant change in average transportation costs over a relatively narrow
population density range, the current formula and Option 1, which use smooth curvilinear predicted
cost functions, do not fully adjust for the cost differences between these groups. As a result,
districts in the higher density group would receive funding under Option 1 equal to 103% of
average costs, while districts in the 20 – 199 density range would receive funded equal to 94% of
average costs.
To address this disparity within the general context of the current formula, an alternative funding
model (Option 2) was developed. Under Option 2:
•
The formula predicted cost for districts with 200 or more pupil units per square mile would
equal the average cost per pupil unit for these districts in the base year used to set the formula
coefficients ($177 in FY 2000). This is $5 per pupil unit lower than the $182 allowance for
these districts under current law. These districts do not qualify for transportation sparsity
funding under current law, and would not qualify under Option 2. Therefore, these districts
would not receive less revenue under Option 2 than under current law or Option 1, unless the
formula allowance was reduced to reflect the lower base figure.
37
Report
•
Data for districts with 200 or more pupil units per square mile was excluded from the
regression analysis used to determine the coefficients for transportation sparsity funding. With
these districts excluded, the regression analysis produces a predicted cost line that is slightly
higher and more curved than under Option 1 (see Graph 4). As a result, the predicted cost for
a district with 100 pupil units per square mile would increase by about $16 per pupil unit,
compared with Option 1. The increase in predicted cost under Option 2 would gradually
diminish as density decreases, down to an increase of about $6 per pupil unit for a district with
five pupil units per square mile. As density continues to decrease, the increase in predicted cost
under Option 2 would begin to grow again, with a gain over Option 1 of about $21 per pupil
unit for a district with two pupil units per square mile, $41 per pupil unit for a district with one
pupil unit per square mile, and $101 per pupil unit for South Koochiching, with 0.2 pupil units
per square mile.
Regression statistics and scatterplots showing the relationship between predicted cost per pupil unit
under Option 2 and population density are included in Appendix D (see Regression Output:
Option 2, and Graphs 3 and 4). Appendix E includes a spreadsheet showing district-by-district
changes in predicted cost per pupil unit.

•
Breakdown by Strata – State total revenue under Option 2 would have equaled 99.4% of actual
cost for FY 2000. Revenue as a percent of cost would have remained nearly uniform among
school district strata. Aggregate funding would have covered 96% of aggregate costs for
Minneapolis / St. Paul and 98.7% for metro suburbs, while funding for non metro districts
would have ranged from a low of 99.0% of aggregate costs in districts with enrollment between
500 and 999 to a high of 102.8% of aggregate costs in districts with enrollment below 500.
•
Breakdown by Economic Development Region – Option 2 would create only modest changes
in aggregate funding by economic development region, compared with Option 1. Aggregate
funding for the metro region would decline from 99% to 98%, while region 7W (central) would
see an increase from 88% to 90%.
•
Breakdown by Density Category – Option 2 largely eliminates the disparity in percent of
aggregate costs funded by density group. Districts with 20 – 199 pupil units per square mile
would have 98.4% of their aggregate costs covered under this option, while funding for districts
with 200 or more pupil units per square mile would equal 100% of aggregate costs. Aggregate
funding for more sparsely populated districts would be about 99.4% of actual costs.
•
Breakdown by Percent of Pupils Transported to Nonpublic Schools – Districts with very high
and very low concentrations of nonpublic school pupils receive less aggregate funding as a

OPTION 3: Maintain Current Formula Structure. Update Transportation Sparsity Formula
Coefficients Based on Regression Analysis using FY 2000 Data (as in Option 1). Add
Topographic Data Obtained from MN Planning to the Regression Model.
The current transportation sparsity formula adjusts for average differences in transportation cost
per pupil unit associated with differences among school districts in the number of pupil units per
square mile. While there is a strong correlation between population density and cost per pupil,
topographic factors may affect transportation costs more in some districts than in others. For this
option, regression analysis was conducted using variables derived from topographic data obtained
from MN Planning. The variables considered for inclusion in the formula are:
•
School District Shape Index – The circumference of each district in miles was obtained from
MN Planning. A school district shape index was constructed by dividing the circumference by
the square mile area of the district. A district with an unusual shape may have greater
challenges in providing pupil transportation than a district with similar population density but a
compact shape. One means of examining whether school district shape has a measurable
impact on transportation costs is to include a shape index variable based on the ratio of the
district’s circumference to its square mile area.

Report
•
Road Slope – Hilly terrain may disrupt transportation patterns, requiring additional travel time,
additional mileage, and wear and tear on vehicles. Data was obtained from MN Planning
showing percent of road miles in each district in several slope catego ries. For this analysis, a
road slope index was constructed based on the percent of all road miles in the district with a
greater than 5 degree slope.
•
Unpopulated Areas – The presence of unpopulated areas in a district may disrupt transportation
patterns by requiring transportation around the unpopulated area or to the nearest bridge across
a river, instead of in a straight line. On the other hand, an unpopulated area may reduce
transportation costs compared with other districts of similar density if the district does not have
to drive around it. For this analysis, an index of unpopulated area as a percent of total district
square mile area was constructed from data obtained from MN Planning. Unpopulated areas
included in the index were lakes, rivers, islands, publicly owned land (e.g., parks), or other
areas identified as unpopulated by the U.S. Census Bureau.
•
Interstate Highways – The presence of interstate highways in a district may disrupt
transportation patterns by requiring transportation to the nearest bridge over the highway,
instead of in the most direct line. For this analysis, an interstate highway index, based on
interstate highway miles as a percent of total road miles in the district, was constructed from
data obtained from MN Planning.
•
Road Network Density – For districts with similar population density, overall road density
(road miles per square mile) may serve as an indicator of the areas that need to be covered by a
school bus in picking up riders. For this analysis, a road density index, based on total road
miles per square mile in the district, was constructed from data obtained from MN Planning.
To evaluate the impact of these variables on transportation costs, a series of regression models was
constructed using (a) all of these variables together, (b) selected individual variables, and (c)
selected subsets, both in predicting cost per pupil unit and cost per pupil transported. Generally,
these models added only slightly to prediction accuracy, as measured by the R² statistic. For
example, when all of these variables were added to the model for predicting cost per pupil unit, the
R² statistic was increased from .521 under the current law model to .552. And, some of the
variables had signs opposite of the postulated impact. For example, it was anticipated that the
shape variable would be positively related to cost per pupil unit (e.g., higher cost in districts with
high ratio of circumference to area), but it had a negative sign.
When road slope alone was added, the R² statistic was increased from .521 under the current law
model to .528. A small positive coefficient was assigned to the road slope index. If this model
were used for funding purposes, districts with a high percentage of road grades exceeding five
percent would receive slightly more funding, and other districts would receive slightly less.
However, our review of funding versus cost indicated that districts with relatively high
concentrations of road miles exceeding a five percent slope receive average funding under both
Options 1 and 2 ranging from 103% to 106% of cost.
While topographic factors certainly affect transportation costs in certain specific situations, it was
concluded that, despite the improved information available from MN Planning, we are unable to
find significant statewide impacts of a magnitude that would justify adding another layer of
complexity to a model used to compute transportation sparsity revenue.

OPTION 4: Base Transportation Sparsity on Cost per Pupil Transported, Instead of Cost
per Pupil Unit, and Fold Regular Portion of Nonpublic Pupil Transportation Aid into
Transportation Sparsity Formula.
Depending on the location of school buildings relative to student residences, districts with the same
overall population density may have widely varying percentages of their student population living
within normal walking distance of school. A district with a high percentage of students living
within one or two miles of school has an advantage over a district with similar population density
but fewer students living this close to the school buildings they attend. To address this issue, one
alternative would be to measure population density in the transportation sparsity formula using
square miles per pupil transported (or per eligible pupil for transportation) instead of square miles
per pupil unit. This was the approach used in the pre-1997 categorical formula. While more
closely related to transportation requirements, use of pupils transported may begin to bring in
factors subject to local control (e.g., school building locations, policies on walking distance to
school, definition of traffic hazards). While transportation funding is currently independent of
these decisions, changing to a per pupil transported basis would limit local flexibility to make cuts
in transportation services in order to balance overall general fund budgets.
The pre-1997 categorical pupil transportation funding formula included funding for transportation
of public and nonpublic school pupils to and from school in the same regular transportation
formula. Beginning in FY 1997, nonpublic to and from school transportation was funded
separately, because the per- pupil unit structure of the new formula did not lend itself to inclusion
of nonpublic school pupils. If transportation funding was returned to a per pupil transported basis,
it would simplify matters to return to a single formula for transportation to and from both public
and nonpublic schools.
To analyze the potential impact of returning to a per pupil transported-based formula, regression
analysis was completed using FY 2000 data. For purposes of this analysis, the cost of transporting
nonpublic pupils to and from school was included in the total cost, while the cost of disabled
student transportatio n, and one- half of the cost of desegregation transportation, which would
continue to be funded separately, remain excluded. Transportation categories included are regular,
excess (including FIN 719), noon kindergarten, learning year summer, late activity bus, between
schools-public, and one-half of desegregation. Bus depreciation is increased by 33% to adjust for
the impact of the bus levy. This reflects the methodology used during the 1995 legislative session.
Compared with options 1 and 2, including the cost of transportation to and from nonpublic schools
adds about $18.3 million to the state total revenues and expenditures.
Regression statistics and scatterplots showing the relationship between cost per pupil unit and
population density are included in Appendix D (See Regression Output: Option 4, and Graphs 5
and 7) . Appendix E includes a spreadsheet showing district-by-district changes in predicted cost
per pupil unit, compared with current law. Two sets of runs were done, one weighting the districts
based on the number of pupil units and a second without weightings for district size. The
regression coefficients from the two runs were averaged and the constant term was rounded up to
generate state total formula revenue within $1 million of state total actual cost.
When cost per pupil transported is used as the dependent variable in the regression analysis instead
of cost per pupil unit, the correlation between predicted and actual cost is increased significantly.
The unweighted analysis under Option 4 produced an R² statistic of .631, compared with .521
42
Report
under Option 1. This suggests that funding under Option 4, on average, would more closely reflect
actual costs. This matched the expected results, since additional information was included on
which students are actually eligible for transportation services.
The current structure of the transportation sparsity formula would be adjusted to determine total
gross revenue as the product of an allowance per pupil transported times the number of pupils
transported, instead of an allowance per pupil unit times the number of pupil units. A flat amount
per pupil unit would continue to be deducted from the gross transportation revenue to determine
the net transportation sparsity revenue. (Note: The gross transportation revenue as determined on
a per pupil transported basis could, alternatively, be rolled completely out of the general education
formula and made a separate categorical. The structure of where the funding is housed is a
separate issue to be discussed later in the report. For this section, it was assumed that the
transportation sparsity approach within the general education formula would continue.)
Minnesota Statutes, Section 126C.10, subdivision 18, would be amended to use .2025 as the
constant instead of .1469, would continue to use 26/100 as the coefficient for the sparsity index,
and would use 14/100 instead of 13/100 as the coefficient for the density index. For FY 2003 and
later, consideration would need to be given to reducing the constant term to offset the impact of the
$415 referendum roll- in into the general education formula (Note: calculations for FY 2003 are
done later in the report).
compared with FY 2000 expenditure data. As noted above, the analysis in this section includes the
cost and revenues for nonpublic-regular transportation, while the analysis above excluded this
category. Breakdowns were calculated by school district strata, population density categories,
economic development regions, enrollment change groupings, road mile slope groupings, and
groups broken down by nonpublic school students transported as a percent of total students
transported.
•
actual cost for FY 2000, compared with 97.4% under current law. While revenue as a percent
of cost is nearly uniform among school district strata under current law, there would be more
variation among strata under Option 4. Specifically, funding for Minneapolis and St. Paul
would decline from 98.1% of actual costs under current law to 89.8% under Option 4, while
revenue for nonmetro districts with 1,000 – 1,999 students would increase from 97.0% under
current law to 105.4%. Aggregate funding for other groups would remain close to 100% of
actual costs.
•
Breakdown by Economic Development Regio n – All regions except the South Central,
Southeastern, and Metro would have received increases under Option 4 compared with current
law, with the largest increase going to Region 2 (Headwaters) –up from 81.2% of actual cost
under current law to 99.3% under Option 4. Other regions with significant increases include
Region 1 (NW), Region 5 (NC), Region 6E (Mid-MN), Region 7E (E. Central) and Region 7W
(Central). Aggregate funding as a percent of regional aggregate cost would be significantly
closer to 100% in most regions than under Option 1, Option 2, or current law, ranging from a
low of 94.1% in Region 7W (Central) to a high of 106.5% in Region 8 (SW).

•
Breakdown by Density Category – Aggregate funding for all districts with more than 200
students per square mile would decline slightly from 101.9% to 99.8% of aggregate costs.
Districts with 5 to 19 students per square mile would have been funded at the highest average
percent of cost (104.3%), while districts with 20 – 199 students per square mile would have
been funded at the lowest average percent of cost (93.1%). Aggregate funding for other groups
would range from 99.8% to 101.9% of actual costs.
•
Breakdown by Percent of Pupils Transported to Nonpublic Schools – Option 4 would decrease
aggregate funding for districts with more than 15% of pupils transported to nonpublic schools

slope. Aggregate funding for districts with relatively flat roads is higher under Option 4 than
under current law, while aggregate funding for districts with more hilly terrain is lower under
Option 4 than under current law. Districts with more than 20% of road miles with a slope of
greater than 5 degrees receive average funding of 97.5% of costs, or slightly under the state
average of 99.8%.
•
Breakdown by Enrollment Change (FY 1996 – FY 2000) Group – Compared with current law,
aggregate funding for districts with declining enrollments would increase significantly, while
aggregate funding for two of the three groups with growing enrollment would decrease slightly.
Districts with rapidly growing enrollment would continue to show a significantly lower average
funding percentage (90%) than other groups. For other groups, there appears to be little
relationship between enrollment gain or loss and percent of costs funded. As under current
law, the relatively low rate of funding for rapidly growing districts appears to be related to the
density issue described above – many districts with rapidly growing enrollment are in the
suburban fringe, with population density falling in the 20 – 100 pupils per square mile range.

Transportation Sparsity Formula. Exclude High Density Districts from Regression Model
and Set Predicted Cost for High Density Districts Equal to FY 2000 Average Cost for These
Districts
Option 5 is the same as Option 4, except that high-density districts were excluded from the
regression model used to measure the relationship between population density and cost per pupil
transported. The formula predicted cost for high- density districts was set equal to the FY 2000
average cost for these districts. As with Option 2, this model was developed in an effort to address
the relatively low aggregate funding as a percent of cost provided to districts with between 20 and
199 students per square mile. Under Option 4, the aggregate funding for this density group equals
93.1% of actual cost, while aggregate funding for other density groups ranges from 99.8% to
104.3% of actual cost.
To analyze the potential impact of Option 5, regression analysis was completed using FY 2000
data. Regression statistics and scatterplots showing the relationship between cost per pupil unit

Transportation Sparsity Formula. Include Eligible Miles per Pupil Transported in the
Regression Model used to Predict Transportation Costs.
Option 6 is the same as Option 4, except that eligible miles per pupil transported is included in the
regression model used to predict transportation costs. Using actual vehicle miles in a formula can
significantly improve the correlation with actual cost, but it is difficult to separate out the mileage
due to factors beyond local control from the factors resulting from local decisions on routing &
scheduling, etc. Some states use “linear density” or miles per pupil transported in their
transportation formulas (see summary of other states’ transportation funding provisions in
Appendix J). When miles are used, there is often a procedure for state approval of school bus
routes. Since mileage reported by Minnesota school districts has not been approved or edited,
additional efforts would be needed to clean up the mileage data if this approach were to be
implemented.
To analyze the potential impact of Option 6, regression analysis was completed using FY 2000
data. Regression statistics and scatterplots showing the relationship between cost per pupil unit
and population density are included in Appendix D (see Regression Output: Option 6, and
Graphs 8 and 9). Appendix E includes a spreadsheet showing district-by-district changes in
predicted cost per pupil unit, compared with current law. Two sets of runs were done, one
weighting the districts based on the number of pupil units and a second without weightings for
district size. The regression coefficients from the two runs were averaged and the constant term
was rounded up to generate state total formula revenue within $1 million of state total actual cost.
When cost per pupil transported is used as the dependent variable in the regression analysis instead
of cost per pupil unit, and mileage is included as an independent variable, the correlation between
predicted and actual cost is increased significantly over current law. The unweighted analysis
under Option 6 produced an R² statistic of .691, compared with .631 under Option 4 and .521
under Option 1. This suggests that funding under Option 6, on average, would more closely reflect
actual costs. This matched the expected results, since additional information was included on
which students are actually eligible for transportation services and how many miles they are
transported.

As in Options 4 and 5, the current structure of the transportation sparsity formula would be
adjusted to determine total gross revenue as the product of an allowance per pupil transported times
the number of pupils transported, instead of an allowance per pupil unit times the number of pupil
units. A flat amount per pupil unit would continue to be deducted from the gross transportation
revenue to determine the net transportation sparsity revenue.
constant instead of .1469, would use 12/100 instead of 26/100 as the coefficient for the sparsity
index, would use 7/100 instead of 13/100 as the coefficient for the density index, and would add a
coefficient of 33/100ths for the miles per pupil transported variable. For FY 2003 and later,
consideration would need to be given to reducing the constant term to offset the impact of the $415
referendum roll- in into the general education formula (Note: calculations for FY 2003 are done
later in the report).
compared with FY 2000 expenditure data. As noted above, the analysis for Options 4, 5, and 6
includes the cost and revenues for nonpublic-regular transportation, while the analysis for Options
1 and 2 above excluded this category. Breakdowns were calculated by school district strata,

variation among strata under Option 6, similar to Options 4 and 5. Specifically, funding for
Minneapolis & St. Paul would decline from 98.1% of actual costs under current law to 88.9%
under Option 6, while revenue for metro suburban districts would increase from 99.1% under
current law to 104.6%. Aggregate funding for rural districts with enrollment under 1,000
would also increase significantly, compared with current law.
•
Breakdown by Economic Development Region – Similar to Option 5, aggregate funding as a
percent of regional aggregate cost would be significantly more uniform among regions than
under Options 1, 2, 4, or current law, ranging from a low of 95.4% in Region 7W (Central) to a
high of 103.8% in Region 6W (Upper MN Valley) and Region 8 (SW).
•
Breakdown by Density Category – Similar to Option 5, aggregate funding as a percent of actual
costs would be more uniform across density groups than under current law or Option 4.
Aggregate funding as a percent of actual costs would range from 96.2% for districts with 20 to
199 students per square mile to 102.1% for districts with 200 or more students per square mile.
•
by slightly less than Options 4 and 5, from 94.4% under current law to 90.8%. Aggregate
funding for districts with lower concentrations of nonpublic school pupils would increase
compared with current law.

•
Breakdown by Topography (Road Slope) – Like Options 4 and 5, aggregate funding for
districts with relatively flat roads is higher under Option 6 than under current law, while
aggregate funding for districts with more hilly terrain is lower under Option 6 than under
current law. Districts with more than 20% of road miles with a slope greater than 5 degrees
receive average funding of 93.7% of costs, compared with 100.5% under current law.
•
Breakdown by Enrollment Change (FY 1996 – FY 2000) Group – Similar to Option 5,
aggregate funding for districts with declining enrollments would be slightly lower than under
Option 4, but significantly higher than under current law, while aggregate funding for districts
with growing enrollment would be comparable to current law and slightly higher than under
Option 4. Districts with rapidly growing enrollment would continue to show a significantly
lower average funding percentage (89%) than other groups. For other groups, there appears to
be little relationship between enrollment gain or loss and percent of costs funded. As under
current law, the relatively low rate of funding for rapidly growing districts appears to be related
to the density issue described above – many districts with rapidly growing enrollment are in the

OPTION 7: Maintain Current Formula Structure. Update Transportation Sparsity Formula
Coefficients Based on Regression Analysis using FY 2000 Data as in Option 1. Based on 50%
of Funding Under Option 1 and 50% Based on Actual Costs
The most direct way to ensure that costs are covered is to reimburse costs directly. This is done for
the disabled transportation category, where it has been difficult to develop a formula based on other
factors beyond district control. The pre-1997 categorical transportation formula used a
combination of formula-predicted costs and actual costs to determine regular transportation

funding. The down side of using actual costs is that it provides little or no incentive for cost
containment. And, if the total amount of funding is limited, districts with relatively high costs due
to inefficient operations, or “Cadillac” service, receive more than their fair share of the pie.
To analyze the potential impact of Option 7, the funding that would have been generated for each
district in FY 2000 was compared with FY 2000 expenditure data. Breakdowns were calculated by
school district strata, population density categories, economic development regions, enrollment
change groupings, road mile slope groupings, and groups broken down by public school students
transported as a percent of total students transported.
•
actual cost for FY 2000. Revenue as a percent of cost would have been nearly uniform among
school district strata, ranging from a low of 99.3% of costs for nonmetro districts with
enrollment over 2,000 to a high of 101.7% for nonmetro districts with enrollment less than
500.
•
Breakdown by Economic Development Region – All regions except those in the mid-central
and north-central areas of the state would have received increases compared with current law.
The largest increases would be in Region 9 (South Central), Region 8 (Southwest), Region 6W
(Upper Minnesota Valley), Region 10 (South Eastern), and Region 3 (Arrowhead).
•
Breakdown by Density Category – Aggregate revenue as a percent of cost would have been
nearly uniform among density categories, ranging from a low of 96.7% in districts with 20 to
199 students per square mile to a high of 101.2% for districts with 200 or more students per
square mile.
•
Breakdown by Percent of Pupils Transported to Nonpublic Schools – As under current law,
districts with very high and very low concentrations of nonpublic school pupils receive less
aggregate funding as a percent of actual costs than districts with average concentrations of
nonpublic school pupils, but including actual costs in the calculations would reduce the
variation among groups. Districts with more than 15% of pupils transported to nonpublic
schools receive the lowest aggregate funding as a percent of cost (97.2%), while districts with
fewer than 5% of students transported to nonpublic schools receive the next lowest aggregate
funding as a percent of cost (98.4%). Districts with between 5 and 15% of students transported
to nonpublic schools receive aggregate funding that slightly exceeds aggregate costs.
•
slope. Districts with more than 20% of road miles with a slope of greater than 5 degrees
receive average funding of 101.7% of costs, or slightly over the state average of 99.8%.
•
Breakdown by Enrollment Change (FY 1996 – FY 2000) Group – Option 7 would narrow the
variation in percent of cost funded among enrollment change categories compared with current
law, but declining districts would continue to receive slightly higher funding in relation to cost
than growing districts. Aggregate funding as a percent of cost for districts with rapidly
growing enrollment would increase from 91.1% under current law to 96.0% under Option 7,
but would continue to be significantly lower than for groups with slower enrollment growth.
55
Report
As under current law, the relatively low rate of funding for rapidly growing districts appears to
be related to the density issue described above – many districts with rapidly growing
enrollment are in suburban fringe, with population density falling in the 20 – 100 pupils per
square mile range.

B. Impact of Replacing the Current Transportation Sparsity Formula for FY 2003
with Selected Options
The preceding section developed six options that could be used to replace the current transportation
sparsity formula. While the analysis was completed using FY 2000 data, FY 2003 is the earliest
year that a change to one of these options could be implemented. Because transportation costs are
projected to increase significantly between FY 2000 and FY 2003, and because the general
education funding has been adjusted for inflation and to include the $415 roll- in, the options
developed using FY 2000 data were adjusted as described below as they were plugged into the FY
2003 transportation sparsity formula.
Appendix F shows the district-by-district impact of replacing the current transportation sparsity
formula with each of the six options in FY 2003. Two tables are provided; one sho wing the change
in total revenue, and the second showing the change in revenue per pupil unit.
OPTION 1: Updated Data
•
The regression formula developed under Option 1 using FY 2000 data is: LN(Cost per pupil
unit) = 6.40 + .28*LN(sparsity index) + .14*LN(density index).
•
Converted from natural logarithm form, the formula is: Cost per pupil unit = $602 times
sparsity index raised to the .28 power times density index raised to the .14 power.
•
Between FY 2000 and FY 2003, transportation costs are projected to increase by 14.76 percent.
Adjusted for inflation, the constant term in this equation would be $691, or .1501 times the FY
2003 formula allowance of $4,601.

•
marginal cost pupil units. (Note: the current subtraction factor of 4.85% would be reduced to
4.55% to adjust for the new regression results and the projected growth in transportation costs
between FY 2000 and FY 2003, compared with the formula allowance increase between FY
2000 and FY 2003, including the $415 transfer).
•
$58.5 million, an increase of $1.9 million. The increase is much smaller than the increase
under Option 1 computed using FY 2000 data because transportation sparsity funding was
increased at a higher rate than the growth in transportation costs between FY 2000 and FY
2003 as a result of the $415 transfer in FY 2003.
•
All districts would receive an increase under Option 1. The increase would range from only a
few cents in high density districts that qualify for essentially no transportation sparsity revenue,
up to $51 per pupil unit in South Koochiching County, which has the lowest population density
of any district in the state.

•
$60.4 million, an increase of $3.8 million.
•
While most districts would receive an increase under Option 2, two groups of districts would
receive a slight decrease. For districts with 200 or more pupil units per square mile,
transportation sparsity funding would be reduced from 21 cents per pupil unit to zero. The
58
Report
current 21 cent figure is due to rounding of the formula coefficients, and this is being
eliminated under Option 2. In addition, because Option 2 changes the shape of the predicted
cost line (see Graph 4), districts with density near the state average may lose up to $4 per pupil
unit.
•
On the other hand, districts with moderately high density (but fewer than 200 students per
square mile) receive increases of up to $17 per pupil unit, and districts with very low density
receive increases of up to $92 (South Koochiching County).
•

under current law would cost $0.3 million.

•
•
•
Gross transportation sparsity revenue would equal the district’s allowance per pupil transported
times the current year public and nonpublic pupils transported in the regular, excess and
desegregation categories.
•
•
Under this model, the to-and-from school portion of nonpublic pupil transportation aid
(“nonpublic-regular transportation aid”) would be rolled into the transportation sparsity
formula. Total transportation sparsity revenue would be $87.8 million, an increase of $7.9
million over the sum of the current transportation sparsity aid and the nonpublic-regular
transportation aid, (assuming no hold-harmless).
•
Because Option 4 would significantly change the basis for allocating transportation sparsity
revenue, some districts would gain significant amounts of revenue, while others would lose
significant amounts of revenue (assuming no hold-harmless).

•
OPTION 7: 50% of Option 1 Plus 50% of Actual Cost
•
A district’s initial transportation sparsity revenue would equal 50% of the district’s initial

year, adjusted for the change in the formula allowance between the base year and the current
year and the change in the district’s pupil units between the base year and the current year.
•
The net transportation sparsity revenue would equal the greater of zero or the gross
transportation sparsity revenue minus 4.55 percent times the formula allowance times the
district’s adjusted marginal cost pupil units.
•
Under this model, nonpublic – regular transportation aid would remain separate from
transportation sparsity. Total transportation sparsity revenue would be $63.3 million, an
increase of $6.7 million over current law.

C. Categorical versus General Education Funding
In the current pupil transportation funding structure, most transportation funding (excluding
funding for nonpublic pupil transportation, disabled student transportation, and excess costs of
desegregation transportation) is included in the general education revenue program. Funding
attributable to pupil transportation includes transportation sparsity revenue and 4.85% of basic
61
Report
revenue. These funds are not reserved for pupil transportation purposes; they can be used for any
general fund purpose. This structure is intended to maximize the flexibility that school districts
have in expending general fund resources. As school districts seek to resolve budget challenges,
pupil transportation must compete with other uses of general fund resources, including classroom
instruction, for resources. In recent years, some school districts have chosen to reduce
transportation services and costs in a variety of ways, (e.g., longer walking distances, eliminating
half day kindergarten / noon kindergarten transportation, keeping school buses longer), in order to
preserve other priorities in the general fund (e.g., class sizes).
The first section of this chapter developed six options for allocating regular transportation revenue
among school districts. These options could be used either in the current transportation funding
structure or in a categorical structure. The second section of this chapter demonstrated how each of
these six options could be used to redefine the calculation of transportation sparsity revenue for FY
2003 and later, assuming that the current transportation funding structure would be maintained.
An alternative to this approach would be to use one of the six options as the basis for a categorical
pupil transportation formula. Under the categorical funding alternative, the transportation sparsity
component of general education revenue would be eliminated, and the basic formula allowance
would be reduced by 4.55% ($209 in FY 2003). The reduction in the formula allowance would
trigger a reduction in compensatory revenue and sparsity revenue, unless an adjustment was made
to fund these components based on the formula allowance plus $209. A related issue would be
whether the special education and integration revenue attributable to transportation would be
separated out and added to the categorical transportation aid.
Another alternative, in between the current structure and the separate categorical, would be to keep
regular transportation funding in the general education program, but to establish a separate
“transportation” component of general education funding that would combine the current
transportation sparsity component and the 4.55% of the basic formula. This approach would more
clearly identify the portion of general education revenue attributable to transportation, without
creating a separate categorical. As with the separate categorical, the reduction in the formula
allowance would trigger a reduction in compensatory revenue and sparsity revenue, unless an
adjustment was made to fund these components based on the formula allowance plus $209.
A related issue is whether any restrictions should be placed on the use of revenue attributable to
transportation. Options here include:
•
•
•
•
Keeping transportation revenues and expenditures in the unreserved general fund;
Returning to a separate transportation fund in UFARS
Establishing a reserve account for transportation within the general fund, or
Keeping most transportation revenues and expenditures in the unreserved general fund, but
establishing a separate bus purchase account in the general fund, and requiring school districts
to make annual bus depreciation trans fers to the bus purchase account.
The requirement of annual bus depreciation transfers could be done with or without a waiver
process. Under a waiver process, school districts meeting certain criteria, such as being in
Statutory Operating Debt (SOD) or maintaining a specified bus replacement schedule (e.g., 8 – 10
years), could apply to the commissioner for authority to waive the transfer requirement.
62
Report
D. State and Local Shares of Transportation Funding
The analysis in this chapter assumed that pup il transportation would continue to be funded
primarily with state general education aid, supplemented with fees for certain transportation
services, and referendum levies / aids for districts with referendums that opt to use part of their
referendum revenue for this purpose.
Alternatively, a portion of transportation funding could come from categorical levies, as under the
pre-1997 funding system. This could include a uniform tax rate for basic transportation services,
and/or separate levies for specific types of services (e.g., bus purchase, excess transportation, late
activity bus). Since basic transportation is mandated for students residing two or more miles from
school, returning to a basic transportation levy would run counter to the state takeover of basic
education costs enacted in 2001.
E. Special Transportation Funding Options
Addressing Incentive for Improper Cost Allocation
As described above in the chapter on transportation funding equity issues, funding some transportation
categories on an actual cost basis while other transportation categories are funded without regard to actual
cost creates an incentive to over-allocate costs to categories where cost is a factor, and under-allocate cost
to other categories. Anecdotal evidence suggests that this is a growing problem with disabled
transportation costs in Minnesota. Since 100% of disabled costs are included in the base special education
funding formula, and other costs are not used except for the relatively small nonpublic transportation aid,
there is an incentive to allocate as much as possible to the disabled category. To address this issue in the
long term, it may be necessary to (1) fund disabled transportation using formula variables other than actual
cost, (2) return to a funding system which factors in actual cost for other categories into funding levels, or
(3) adopt a cost approval process for special education transportation costs. Additional study would be
needed to develop these options further.
Addressing Inconsistency in Funding for Capital Costs
As described above in the chapter on transportation funding equity issues, 100% of operating costs for
disabled student transportation are included in the base revenue for the special education funding formula.
The full cost of contracts for disabled student transportation is funded, including the portion of the contract
attributable to vehicles used by the contractor to provide this transportation. For district-owned operations,
however, depreciation on vehicles is excluded. Together with the cost allocation issue noted above, this
creates an incentive for districts to contract for disabled student transportation, even if this is not the most
cost-effective alternative. To make the funding system more neutral, the state should either include bus
depreciation on district-owned vehicles used for disabled student transportation as an eligible cost, or
exclude the portion of contract costs attributable to the cost of vehicles. The latter approach is used
elsewhere in the special education funding formula for contracted special education services: 68% of
teacher salaries are include in the base revenue, but only 52% of contracted costs are included, to help
recognize that the contract costs include a broader expenditure base (e.g., fringe benefits).
63
Report
F. Nonpublic And Charter School Costs vs. Funding
Together, Minneapolis and St. Paul reported that their per pupil cost for nonpublic regular & excess
transportation was 1.69 times the district average for public regular & excess transportation (excluding
charter schools), and their cost for charter school transportation was 3.37 times their district average public
regular and excess transportation (excluding charter schools). Other groups of districts reported only small
average differences in per pupil costs between charter and nonpublic transportation and regular/excess
transportation to public schools, excluding charter schools. The current system funds transportation to
nonpublic and charter schools at the same rate as transportation to regular public schools.
Options for addressing the nonpublic / charter school funding gap include:
•
Weighting nonpublic pupils transported by Minneapolis and St. Paul at a level approaching the
reported ratio of nonpublic to public cost per pupil transported in the two districts (e.g., 1.5). This
would recognize the added costs of nonpublic pupil transportation in large districts that need to
transport nonpublic students to many different nonpublic schools within a large geographic area. Since
these are self-reported cost ratios from a survey instrument, further analysis would be appropriate to
verify the accuracy and reasonableness of the data.
•
Establishing a grant program to enable school districts to recover a portion of excess costs for
transporting students to charter schools.
•
Requiring charter schools to provide their own transportation, or allowing school districts to charge
back excess costs to charter schools, and establishing a grant program to enable charter schools to
recover a portion of excess costs for transporting students.
G. Other Transportation Funding Options
Funding for Special Transportation Services
Funding of some transportation categories on an actual cost basis while other transportation
categories are funded without regard to actual cost creates an incentive to over-allocate costs to
categories where cost is a factor, and under-allocate cost to other categories. Anecdotal evidence
suggests that this is a growing problem with disabled transportation costs in Minnesota. Since
100% of disabled costs are included in the base special education funding formula, and other costs
are not used except for the relatively small nonpublic transportation aid, there is an incentive to
allocate as much as possible to the disabled category. To address this issue in the long term, it may
be necessary to (1) fund disabled transportation using formula variables other than actual cost, (2)
return to a funding system which factors in actual cost for other categories into funding levels, or
(3) adopt a cost approval process for special education transportation costs.

SECTION 7:
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS
The use of public transportation for transporting students to and from school has been mostly limited to
those programs that draw students from a very large geographical area. Public transit has also been
utilized primarily by secondary school aged students. Programs such as magnet schools, charter
schools, open enrollment, and nonpublic schools outside of the home district are prime candidates for
the use of public transportation.
When public transportation is used, several methods of funding have been tried. In some cases,
schools purchase tokens or bus passes for students. In some situations, the transit authority may make
passes available that are good only during non-peak hours. This method is used to ensure that students
who utilize the transportation service do not conflict with transportation of the working public at peak
transit periods. Public transit authorities generally provide student transportation at favorable rates.
There are several factors that limit the use of public transportation for students. First, schools and
parents are hesitant to put younger students on transit buses because other passengers are not screened
before riding. In many cases, students will have longer walks to and from bus stops if riding transit
buses. This can occur on both ends of the ride. Time schedules for transit buses are not planned to get
student passengers to school at favorable times. On a public transit system, many students will be
required to transfer one or more times to get to the point nearest their destination. Public transit drivers
have lower standards of qualifications than school bus drivers.
In general, public transportation is used to a high degree for those programs and/or situations where the
needs of the users match up with its unique characteristics.

Summary
A public meeting was held at the Fairview Community Center Great Room in Roseville,
Minnesota, to get input from persons interested in the transportation study. Notices were sent
out to school district superintendents, transportation supervisors, school bus contractors, school
business officials, school administrators and nonpublic school representatives. Forty-one (41)
persons attended.
Department of Children, Families & Learning (CFL) representatives explained the steps that had
been taken to plan for the transportation study. A draft of the survey instrument was distributed
and discussed. Participants made many suggestions for amending the survey instrument. They
also gave input regarding other data that they felt should be included in the study.
Some written comments were also submitted to the department.
After the meeting, department staff reviewed the suggested changes to the surve y instrument and
modified the survey instrument as appropriate. Copies of the newly revised survey instrument
were distributed to key individuals who attended the meeting and those individuals gathered
small groups together to review the revised survey. Additional suggestions were submitted to
the department and final revisions were made before the survey instrument was distributed.

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION USE IN
PUPIL TRANSPORTATION MEETING
December 13, 2001
In order to fulfill the study requirement for examining public transportation options, the
Department of Children, Families & Learning (CFL) scheduled a public meeting on December
13, 2001. The meeting was held at the CFL Conference Center.
School districts known to utilize public transportation were sent invitations and asked to bring
representatives of their respective transit authorities. In addition, invitations were sent to all
charter schools. Notification of the meeting was sent to the Minnesota Association for Pupil
Transportation (MAPT) and the Minnesota School Bus Operators Association (MSBOA).
Sixteen (16) persons attended the meeting. Attendees included:
Jim Schmidt - MAPT
David Peterson - St. Paul Schools
Harold Turnquist - St. Paul Schools
Shawn Hamilton - Skills for Tomorrow High School
Dan Holter - Rochester City Lines
Mona Berg - Rochester Schools
Philip Torgerson - Duluth Transit Authority
Carrie Bakken - Avalon School (#4075)
Adam Sands - Agricultural Food Science Academy (# 4074)
Suleiman Amin - Minnesota International School
Julia Douglas - Math and Science Academy
Arlene McCarthy - Metro Transit
Rep. Bob Ness - Dassel
Dr. Tom Melcher - CFL
Dr. Norm Chaffee - CFL
Bob Fischer - CFL
Summary
Philip Torgerson explained how the Duluth Transit Authority (DTA) serves the school district.
DTA has been providing student transportation for about 30 years. Eighteen vehicles do 30
morning trips and 32 vehicles do 50 afternoon trips. This is in addition to regular transit routes.
District 709 has the discipline policy. Special student training is provided by DTA. They
transport 2900 students per day from the 7th through the 12th grades. They provide seasonal
passes, for students living 1.5 to 2.0 miles from school, for severe weather. Photo IDs are
required.
The St. Germain Amendment was discussed in relation to the special legislation passed for DTA.
Basically, the St. Germain Amendment provides that transit authorities which receive federal
funds for capital expenditures or operating expenses cannot provide pup il transportation services
if there is a private school bus contractor capable of providing that service.
67
Appendix A
Dan Holter explained how the Rochester City Lines serve the Rochester students. Most
Rochester students are transported on school buses. Rochester has a 1.25 mile walk distance for
elementary students and a 2.0 mile walk distance for middle and secondary school students.
Arlene McCarthy explained how Metro Transit serves students in the metro area. Districts
purchase tokens, passes, and/or value cards for students at discounted rates. Students ride
regular routes. They also have special youth fares for young adults. These special youth fares
provide 10 rides for $5.00. Certain restrictions apply.
Several school district and charter school representatives spoke. They told how their students
utilize public transit services.
Rep. Ness explained the purpose behind the study and what information the legislature hoped to
acquire from the study.
Transit representatives and others attending the meeting were invited to make suggestions on any
changes in state law that they believe would facilitate more effective use of public transportation
in providing pupil transportation services. No suggestions were offered at the meeting, but
transit representatives and others at the meeting were invited to come forward with suggestions
at a later date.
In summary, it appears that pubic transit provides the greatest benefit for schools and programs
that have limited numbers of participants coming in from a large geographical area. Where
numbers of students are more concentrated, conventional school bus service is more efficient.

SUPPLEMENTAL TRANSPORTATION DATA
INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THIS FORM
Finance Dimension 720: Regular Category includes elementary students who live one mile or more from school
and secondary students who live two miles or more from school. Excess Category includes secondary students
who live one mile or more from school but less than two miles and K-12 students who live less than one mile
from school and who are transported because of the extraordinary traffic, drug or crime hazards they would
encounter if they walk. Both the Regular and Excess Categories include public, nonpublic and charter school
students. Numbers reported by the district on the 1999-00 MARSS and Pupil Transportation Annual Report
have already been entered on the form along with the total cost reported by the district for the Regular/Excess
Category transportation services (Finance Dimension 720 on UFARS). If the total cost amount is lower than
what a district reported on UFARS, it is because insurance receipts recorded in Source Dimension 625/Finance
Dimension 720 have been subtracted from the amount.
Districts must allocate the total cost reported on the form among the different classifications of students using
the services. If the public, nonpublic and charter school students ride on the same bus routes to and from
school, then districts should determine the cost for the different classifications on an average cost per pupil
basis. For example, total cost reported/total students = average cost per student. Average cost per student
times public regular category students = total public regular category cost; average cost per student times
nonpublic regular category students = total nonpublic regular category cost, etc.
If separate routes are set up to serve the different classifications of students, districts should determine the
total cost of each route and enter the total of all routes on the table.
Some districts may have a combination of the different classifications of students riding the same routes and
some riding on separate routes. These districts will have to use both methods to determine the cost.
Average Hourly Salary of Bus Drivers: Report the average hourly salary for bus drivers in the district whether
employed by a district or a contractor. Do not include benefits in this amount. Report hourly benefits
separately. For benefits, include health insurance, retirement, social security, etc. If a district is using public
transit services exclusively to transport students, enter "transit" on this line.
Gallons of Fuel and Cost: Report the total gallons of fuel used for all pupil transportation services whether
purchased by a district or contractor. If the district or contractor receives an exemption from paying or a
rebate for paying the federal fuel excise tax, do not include the tax in calculating the average cost per gallon.
If a district is using public transit services exclusively to transport students, enter "transit" on this line.
Comparison Between 1995-96 and 1999-00 School Years : The 1995-96 school year was the last year that
transportation services were funded under a separate categorical funding formula. The information in this
table will provide information on how transportation services have changed after four years under the new
funding formula. Additional information may be provided in the comments/suggestions area (see below).
A.
Report the average number of runs you have on each route. A route is defined as a designated course
regularly traveled by a school bus to pick up students and take them to school, or to deliver students
from school to their homes or designated bus stops. A run is defined as a complete trip on a route.
To illustrate the difference between a run and a route: it is possible to have six daily runs on the same
route, i.e., one high school, one middle school, and one elementary run both morning and afternoon.
B.
Report the average length of time students are transported on each route.
72
Appendix B
C.
Enter the average length of time for different runs by grade levels of students. There should be three
answers to this question.
D.
Enter the number of days in which schools are dismissed early for teacher conferences. Include days
when all schools are dismissed early for conferences. Also, include days when some schools are
dismissed early for conferences while other remain in session until the regular dismissal time (e.g.,
elementary dismissed at noon, secondary at regular time.) Do not include days schools are dismissed
early because of emergencies such as bad weather.
E.
Enter the total number of days regular route transportation services were provided. For example,
some days the elementary schools may be in session while secondary schools are closed. That day
should be counted as a transportation day.
F.
Enter the average age of the district's and/or contractor's bus fleet. Only include buses used on a
regular basis. Do not include buses that are used only occasionally as spares or for parts.
G.
Indicate either "yes" or "no" on whether your district transports resident students to the school of their
choice within your district. Only indicate "yes" when your district actually travels between attendance
areas. Indicate "no" if resident students must travel to the attendance area border to catch the bus
traveling within the attendance area and your buses do not actually travel into the other attendance
area.
H.
Indicate either "yes or "no" on whether your buses travel outside your district to pick-up or drop-off
students who have open enrolled into your district. These students are residents of other school
districts.
I.
Enter the average distance (in miles) that a student must walk to a pick-up point (e.g., .5 mile).
J.
Enter the average distance students must live from school before your district provides regular route
transportation. There should be three answers to this question.
Comments/Suggestions: Beginning with the 1996-97 school year, funding for transporting public school
students was rolled into the General Education formula. Also, all transportation levies were eliminated.
Transportation funding for special education students is now part of the special education formula and there is
a separate funding formula for nonpublic transportation service. Since these funding changes were
implemented:
¦
¦
¦
¦
Has the district changed the way it provides transportation services (e.g., reduced or eliminated late
activity bus service, noon kindergarten)?
Is the district still replacing school buses on the same schedule as before the funding change or have bus
purchases been delayed?
Has the district started charging fees for transportation services?
Have there been any significant cost increases since FY 2000 (the cost data reported on this form)?
A detailed explanation in answer to these questions and other transportation issues facing school districts will
assist the department in preparing the report.

Appendix B
DEFINITIONS
Adjusted Average Daily Membership (ADM)
Includes:
1.
•
•
•
Resident students enrolled in the district, including:
Foreign exchange students enrolled under J-1 visas,
Foster children placed in the district and who have no IEP, and
Students enrolled in post secondary institutions under the PSEO (post secondary
enrollment options) program.
2. Resident students enrolled elsewhere and for whom the resident district pays their full
instructional tuition, including:
• Foster children who have an IEP, whose parent resides in this district and for whom the
district pays full instructional tuition. (Exclude students whose parents reside in the
district but do not have an IEP and are placed in a foster home in another district).
• Residents enrolled in a cooperatively hosted ALC that does not have a fiscal host (e.g.,
287, Dakota County ALC, Freshwater Education District, Southern Plains Education
Cooperative, etc.).
• Residents placed in nonpublic or non-Minnesota programs via their IEP or care and
treatment and the district is paying their instructional tuition.
3. Nonresident students enrolled in the district via one of the attendance options programs, i.e.;
open enrollment, graduation incentives, parent- initiated agreements between boards,
continued enrollment of juniors and seniors, etc.
4. Students enrolled in a cooperative for which a district is the fiscal host, e.g., an ALC.
Excluded from these counts are:
•
•
•
Shared time students, i.e., students who are enrolled in a nonpublic or home school but
who are enrolled part-time in public school classes.
Nonresident students who are ineligible to generate general education revenue, e.g.,
foreign students enrolled under an F-1 visa, residents of other states, and nonresidents
whose parents pay their tuition to enroll in a district.
Students enrolled in private contract programs.
AMCPU (Adjusted Marginal Cost Pupil Units)
Is the combination of weighting adjusted average daily membership and dampening pupil losses
during periods of decline. The weighting counts kindergarten pupils as .557 pupil units; grades
1-3 as 1.115 pupil units, grades 4-6 as 1.06 and grades 7-12 as 1.3 pupil units. After the weights
are applied a marginal pupil unit calculation is performed, so that a district’s current year
marginal pupil counts is the greater of its actual weighted pupil count or 77 percent of the current
year’s weighted count plus 23 percent of the prior year’s weighted count.
74
Appendix B
Regular Category
The regular category includes transportation to and from school during the regular school year
for elementary public, nonpublic and charter school students residing one mile or more from
school and secondary public, nonpublic and charter school students residing two miles or more
from school. This category also includes enrollment options students where the distance from
the border to the school is one mile or more for elementary students and two miles or more for
secondary students.
Excess Category
The excess category includes secondary public, nonpublic and charter school students who live
one mile or more from school but less than two miles and all students who live less than one mile
from school and who are transported because of the extraordinary traffic, drug, and crime
hazards.
Disabled Category
The disabled category includes students with disabilities who receive special transportation or
special accommodations while being transported to and from school. Special transportation
includes routes designed to transport students with disabilities because they are unable to ride
regular routes. Special accommodations include using special equipment on regular bus routes
or having aides ride regular bus routes with the students. Without these special accommodations,
these students would not be able to ride regular bus routes.
Desegregation Category
The desegregation category includes students who attend schools outside their normal attendance
areas under approved desegregation or integration plans.
Mileage
Mileage represents annual mileage on district-owned and contractor-owned school buses.
Route
A designated course regularly traveled by a school bus to pick up students and take them to
school or to deliver students from school to their homes or designated bus stops.
Run
A complete trip on a route. (To illustrate the difference between a run and a route: it is possible
to have six daily runs on the same route, i.e., one high school, one middle school, and one
elementary run both morning and afternoon.)

Appendix B
SURVEY COMMENTS
This appendix will summarize the school districts’ comments submitted with the transportation
study survey form.
Instructions for the survey form suggested four primary areas for comment. This summary will
first look at the specific responses to the four primary areas and then list the many miscellaneous
comments received.
Has the district changed the way it provides transportation services (e.g., reduced or eliminated
late activity service, noon kindergarten)?
YES – 37
NO – 7
Reduced number of days – 2
Eliminated late activity busing – 16
Reduced late activity busing – 1
Changed walking distances – 3
Changed to all-day every-day kindergarten – 9
Changed school start times – 2

Anoka-Hennepin will most likely reduce services in the 2002-2003 school year.
Over the last ten years, we have cut from 76 runs to 54 runs daily. We also cut one
activity run. We added three runs daily in 2000-2001 for a private school in the district.
Our district changed to a four-tier system to cut costs.
Some schools were on a semester and others on trimester, now all schools on semester.
We face significant declining enrollment. Yet we don’t believe we can contract the
number of school bus routes without significantly raising average ride time. Even if we
contract a route, the total number of miles driven would remain nearly the same. We will
be running more miles and hauling fewer students.
Since 1995-96 we have eliminated three town routes and the preschool noon route.
In 2001-02 we eliminated one feeder bus route, two feeder van routes, and two regular
bus routes.
We have eliminated buses and drivers due to declining enrollment.
We have added three routes to keep bus riding time under one hour.
Consultant hired in 1998 resulting in combining some routes and deleting some buses.
We closed one elementary building. Increased walking distances for secondary. Buses
are not going out of district for open enrollment students. Deleted hazardous
transportation for elementary except for RR tracks.
No longer take our nonpublic students to their school in a connecting district.

Went from two buses per year to one bus per year.
No longer replace buses on regular schedule.
We were replacing two buses one year and one bus the next year up until July 1, 1996.
Now purchase one bus every other year. Give us our bus purchase levy back.
We were on an eight- year depreciation schedule. The last three years have purchased NO
buses.
Our fleet has aged considerably in the past few years. Funding replacement buses must
be a priority!!
Current rotation schedule for 64 buses is 16-20 years.
Now purchase only used school buses.
Bus replacement timeline extended from eight to 10 years.
Nineteen-year replacement cycle. Hope to get it back to 16 years.
Bus repair costs have been higher because of greater mileage and age of buses – four
districts.
Was on two-three year replacement schedule, now try for five years.
Stopped replacing buses for three years. Switched from 8-12 year replacement schedule.
SOD district.
Ellsworth disbanded their bus replacement schedule when the state disbanded
depreciation reimbursement.
Replacement schedule has increased by at least two years.
Without a bus purchase reserve, we are using older buses.
We have purchased three new buses since 1998.
Used to buy two-three buses per year. Have not bought any new buses, cars, or vans
since 1999-2000.
Breakdowns are more common because of more miles per unit. Age of buses average
seven years.
Bus purchase levy should be reinstated. This is a safety issue. We used to purchase two
buses each year, now we have purchased one bus since 1997-98 school year.
We are due for a new bus, but decided not to purchase at this time.
We don’t replace buses as often.
Bus purchasing has been delayed because of lack of stable transportation funding from
state and a failed local referendum.

We continue to experience declining enrollment, but still need to provide transportation
services within a 310 square mile area. This doesn’t allow the district to control cost of
operation and the sparsity formula doesn’t fully fund the increased costs. My suggestion
is that the transportation sparsity formula be carefully analyzed and that time and area be
recognized as an integral part of the formula.
Our enrollment is declining. We have closed one school but the distance between pickup
points has not been decreased.
Transportation funds should be increased to cover the costs of the services required to do
the job.
This form should reflect district-owned and contracted services.
Sparsity.
Focus should be on sparsity.
District is looking at sharing transportation services to activities with other districts.
Stop the open enrollment.
Suggest moving transportation accounting back to a separate fund instead of
transportation costs as a general fund expense.
Funding for transportation needs to be put back in place. Bring back bus levies and
depreciation schedules.
In 1995-96 expenses exceeded revenue by $70,732. In 1999-00 expenses exceeded
revenue by $149,802.
In 1999-00, we were picking up a lot more in- town students that in 1995-96.
Drivers pick up all students along regular bus routes – 3 districts.
For the 1999-00 audited cost for all transportation costs $244,979.49 was reported.
Transportation sparsity revenue for 1999-00 was set at $125,485 or 51% of total
transportation cost.
Would like to see full funding and depreciation restored.
We pick up open enrollment students coming into the district.
Due to district size, it will be very difficult to reduce routes further without significantly
increasing student time on bus.
Transporting Special Education students to another district is higher cost. Some funding
increases for this type service would help.
Concern with transition revenue. Transportation funding has been flat since 1996.

Statewide driver shortage.
State incentive given directly to individuals who hold a valid school bus endorsement and
are actively driving. The proof of active use driving to be reported by the employer on a
quarterly basis. Payment should be forwarded directly to each individual not via the
employer ensuring the driver receives payment. This could be accomplished as a credit
on an individual’s income tax return. Added financial incentive could encourage
qualified individuals to continue to, or begin as, a school bus driver. The goal of the
monetary incentive is to assist in decrease the statewide driver shortage without putting
further financial burden on the school districts or private contractors.

It is our opinion that the questionnaire will not help the state in identifying costs for
District #876. Our district is largely comprised of numerous lake residences. Significant
extra miles must be made to pickup students of our district due to topographical
characteristics. It is extremely difficult to complete a route in one hour with the regional
road conditions taken into consideration. In addition, as noted above, most ISD #876
students are transported due to the schools being bordered by state highways.
It is our opinion that the questionnaire will not help the state in identifying costs for
District #881. Our district is largely comprised of many lake residences. Many extra
miles must be made to pickup students of our district due to topographical characteristics.
It is extremely difficult to complete a route in one hour with the regional road conditions
taken into consideration.
The survey should have included the number of miles traveled, unique topographical
features such as rivers, hills, valleys, etc. Also, the survey needs to include sparsely
populated rural areas and hazardous areas that need to be transported to ensure a child’s
safety. Mankato has 27 schools in the district, 15 of which have district-wide enrollment
areas. Obviously with so many locations to transport to/from, adds more time, miles and
greater expenses.
This survey is another unfunded mandate by the legislature that creates additional work
for school district personnel. Some information is at the department, but local districts
are having to do the work.
Our district is leasing buses for the next four years. We traded in our fleet as a down
payment on the lease agreement. We will have a problem when the lease is up. We need
to put the transportation levy back in.
My initial response to the survey is that it is a start in the right direction but lacks many
of the crucial issues that result in true comparison. It is virtually impossible to compare
apples to apples without examining in detail exactly what each district is doing and why.
Some of the issues that have faced us included declining enrollment, consolidation, open
enrollment, but in no way are being measured by this survey. If we truly want equity it
will take more than a short survey.
This survey in my opinion will not result in usable data for the CFL or the legislature.
The questions are not applicable to all school district and are subject to interpretation by
whoever is attempting to answer them. I have answered the survey to the best of my
ability after analyzing the questions and interpreting them. The survey does not address:
District sparsity, topography, mileage comparison by student; declining enrollment, and
open enrollment. These are crucial issues for rural school districts, but are not addressed
or measured by this survey.
Prior to the 1996-97 school year, two school buses were purchased each year. When the
transportation fund was rolled into the general fund our school board set a line item for
purchase two buses per year. 1997-98, 1998-99 school years, two buses each year were
purchased. In 1999-00 school year, no buses were purchased. Those funds were rolled
back into the general fund for other uses. In 2000-01 school year, only one bus was
purchased and the remainder of that year’s bus purchase fund was rolled back into the
general fund. This has resulted in older buses being used on regular routes. In the 200001 school year, we eliminated our high school town route. The walking distance was
increased to two miles in the city limits. This eliminated one bus route and transportation
for 80 students.

We are concerned that we are still traveling the same roads, same distance with less
routes (buses) and picking up less students. Our costs keep rising be we have less
students. We have worked hard to cut costs but it is difficult to do when we still put on
the same total miles.
Our problem is that we are still traveling the same as five years ago – just picking up less
students. Costs continue to rise in spite of less students. Our only alternative is to have
longer routes which is not good for children and our parents certainly object to that.
Specific Comments
Lake City Bus Lines, Inc.
With the geographical makeup of our district to include rivers, creeks, bluffs, major railroads,
and major highways, I believe we are operating our transportation system very efficiently. We
monitor our routes constantly and make changes appropriately. I see nowhere in this report do
we address miles per route or miles per student. Under the current format, this report will have
difficulty in reporting our efficiency. When considering reimbursements for transportation,
what’s “fair” for one district, may not be “fair” for another. Transportation needs to go back to a
separate budget so each district can be analyzed separately and reimbursed accordingly.
Minneapolis Special School District #1
School transportation professionals understand that the most basic cost driver is how much it
costs to operate a bus each hour. Sometimes there is a misconception that cost per mile is
relevant. It costs the same for an hour of bus operation in an urban setting at average speeds
around 15 miles per hour as it does in rural settings which average 45 mile per hour. The
driver’s wage for an hour of service is the same, insurance is the same, and overhead is the same.
Even the cost of fuel is very close to the same. (Buses in stop and go traffic have poorer fuel
economy than those on highways.)
Given the fact that the cost per hour under any setting is driven by the same factors, the real
issues in determining the cost per student are:
• How many students per hour per bus can be transported?
• What is the maximum number of hours that a school district is willing and able to tolerate
in its starting and ending times?
You have addressed a couple of issues in the cost per hour, such as school bus driver wages and
benefits. You have not addressed the total amount of time buses are on the road or the number of
riders per bus per hour. I would suggest that if you want real comparisons between types of
districts you might consider these factors.
There are additional factors which you have not addressed:
• Teen parent program
• English Language Learner programs
• Alternative schools

Appendix B
Desegregation transportation continues to be more and more of a problem for Minneapolis.
Without providing cross-district bussing we would have schools that approach 100% minority or
100% Caucasian populations. The problem is even more significant now than in 1996, with a
huge influx of Somali and Spanish-speaking immigrants. Yet the legislature reduced funding for
our district in this category by 5.1 million dollars this year.
The cost of a new bus has grown from $48,000 on average in 1995-96 to $62,000 on average in
1999-00, and costs continue to increase at a rate greater that inflation. Minneapolis is replacing
school buses now on a 13-year cycle instead of a 10-year cycle, and the expenses are being
reflected in debt service rather than fund 3.
St. Francis School District #15
Loss of categorical funding and specifically depreciation aid has resulted in a shortfall of revenue
for new bus purchases and an increase in maintenance costs as the average age of the fleet has
increased. Costs of new buses have increased a minimum of 4 to 6% depending on
manufacturer. State aid increases have not kept pace with the cost of the vehicle.
Industry trends and legislative mandates have created the need for additional driver training and
safety equipment on the school buses. The loss of the reserved safety revenue leaves a void for
this important expense.
Fuel costs have increased, most notably during the 2000-01 school year. Again, inadequate
funding to keep pace with these increases.
Consideration should be given to provide additional funding for districts that have a significant
number of students who require transportation because of extraordinary traffic hazards. The St.
Francis School District transports all students because of the lack of safe roadways. Busy
highways, county roads, rivers, and railroad tracks necessitate that we transport students who live
very close to our schools. It is unlikely this situation will change.
Northland Community Schools #118
1. Our district has not changed the way it provides transportation since the funding changes in
1996-97.
2. Our bus replacement schedule has changed since 1996-97. Buses are being replaced slower,
the fleet is older. With the loss of the bus purchase levy, dollars for buses compete with
dollars for textbooks, teachers, etc. Maintenance costs rise with older buses.
3. The district does not charge fees for transportation services. Over 50% of our families
qualify for free and reduced lunch – the current indicator of poverty.
4. Fuel prices have risen 100% in three years.
5. We have submitted our riding times by route and K-6, 7-12. We do not keep records by
middle school. Asking for a riding time average does not accurately show our concerns.
While our average ride is in the 80-90 minute range, many of our students are on the bus over
two hours per day. The fact that as we approach our school sites and students ride only a few
minutes brings down the average riding time significantly. If we had the transportation
dollars, we would certainly add routes to decrease our riding time. Long rides generate
behavior problems.
82
Appendix B
6. Legislators and CFL bureaucrats like to use the phrase “rolled in” when describing the loss of
a categorical funding for transportation. Both refuse to admit the “rolled in” dollars compete
with textbooks, teachers, computers, etc. They hide behind “local control” at that point. Yet,
local control is not trusted for staff development money and other money such as learning
and development which must be reserved. Transportation funds should be clearly designated
and reserved to transportation. Bus purchase needs a separate funding for cost efficient
operation as well as safety.
Burnsville School District #191
District 191 has done a good job of making student transportation a very efficient and tightly run
process. By employing a newer, very powerful transportation management and routing software
application and by shuttling secondary students together to and from school, and by employing
staggered starting and ending school times, there is little more that can be done to make the
current operation more efficient than it is. Present and future costs could be lowered only by
reducing or eliminating services.
For the 1998-99 school year, District 191 required its junior high school and senior high school
students to ride the same bus for both pickup and take home routes. After delivering the senior
high students at 7:30 a.m., junior high school students are taken to their schools for a 7:45 a.m.
delivery. This change was made to further reduce the cost of transportation by loading the buses
more heavily and increasing the length and time of all secondary school routes. There has been
some cost saving attributable to this measure which was and remains very unpopular with
students and parents because of the earlier pick-up times and longer, more crowded bus rides.
There is a strong preference among parents and educators for being at the high school at a
significantly later hour, but bus utilization drives the decision to retain it in order to keep
transportation costs as low as possible.
A failed excess levy referendum in November 2001 will result in a review of the current level of
transportation services. District 191 has not eliminated noon kindergarten or late activity buses.
These services are performed no differently today than in 1995-96. Both services will be
considered for elimination for the 2002-2003 school year.
As of this time, District 191 is not charging parents to transport elementary or secondary students
living less than two miles from school. It will be considered for the 2002-2003 school year, but
it is believed that it would be difficult to plan and administer.
For the 2001-2002 school year, our contract rates have increased 10.8% over the same rates for
the 1999-2000 school year.
Montgomery-Lonsdale School District #394
1. The survey apparently fails to distinguish between cost as matter of efficiency vs. cost as a
matter of service required or service provided.
2. The survey fails to address unique geographical issues affecting efficiency opportunities.
3. The survey fails to address bus use efficiency in terms of capacity and per route load counts.
83
Appendix B
4. We question why the CFL and legislature continue to identify and track the so-called
“Transportation Allocation” and “Foundation Aid” dollars, when they in fact are neither.
The dollar amounts associated with these categories have no correlation whatsoever to either
transportation revenue or transportation cost. They are general fund revenue dollars that are
available to school districts to spend in whatever manner they see fit.
5. We urge that the legislature and the CFL consider reinstatement of the segregated safety fund
at the pre-roll in amount of $1.50 per student. While we recognize the rationale behind the
move away from categorical funding for transportation, we feel that this was one area that
was of an important and direct benefit to student safety and well-being.
Roseville School District #623
The study should report ways to set up a transportation system that does several things:
1. Funding should be flexible for those areas that districts don’t control, but which are
necessary expenditures, i.e., fuel, insurance, driver wages may be issues, and there could
be others which will show up in the future. Flexibility to accommodate these should be
part of the funding system. When it is clear that these are not industry controlled expense
variables, the funding system should be flexible to accommodate their variability so that
educational programs are not harmed.
2. Bus purchases for districts that own buses should be made in a way that does not compete
with other district capital expenditures. We need to get our fleet back in better condition
that the aging fleet we are developing. Primarily a district issue, but important to keep
the age of our bus fleet from increasing as we get farther into funding problems in
educational areas.
3. All districts should be required to review and revise their transportation system at least
every four years, so that efficiencies are maintained or improved. We need to ensure that
we have the best service we can for our students, and that we use only the resources we
need to for transportation. We will need to develop resources to help districts do this.
North Carolina has bus routing software for every district in the state.
4. Every contracted district should have a competitive bid for their transportation service at
least every four years. So that the transportation contract is examined and scrutinized,
and hopefully efficiencies can be gained. This does not mean bring in at least two
bidders to each bid, but it does mean conforming to the law requiring bids from the
general public for contracts greater than $50,000.
5. Autonomous agencies that now make decisions which affect school transportation costs
should be required to consider transportation when they are making programmatic and
scheduling decisions. An example is intermediate districts with special education
programs – districts are required to transport, but with little input on time schedule or
calendar. We have outside agencies dictating that we spend more on transportation than
we would need to if a few simple coordination efforts were followed.
84
Appendix B
6. District calendars should be coordinated between districts so that shared programs are on
the same calendar, and bus services can be coordinated more effectively. Early
dismissals should also be curtailed. School districts are under no incentive presently to
regularize their calendars. This causes more problems as we have more districts sharing
programs. We could improve system efficiency if all districts followed the same
calendar. Early dismissals, while a valid tool for staff development are also a
transportation problem, both with buses and students on the road at unexpected times,
and many sub-drivers driving because of the odd time.
7. School districts should get a report from the state outlining their transportation fund
status annually. All school districts need to have a clear understanding of their
transportation expend iture vs. revenue status for each year.
8. Funding for low density programs should be based more on the profile of the program,
than on regular transportation funding. Examples, ALC, CD treatment, and charter
schools. These types of programs are funded at the same level as regular transportation,
but have the service characteristics of special education programs. If the costs per
student of special education programs was compared to regular, these programs are
probably a deficit to most districts where the y are operated. Although chemical
dependency funding can be put into special education if a 504 plan is initiated, this
doesn’t cover most of the students.
9. School bus safety education and activity funding should be restored.
10. Other states’ funding patterns should be examined to see if there are any which might
have merit for Minnesota. A survey was done several years ago outlining the funding
profiles for most states. It is available for review, and perhaps some of the states with
more specific funding programs should be contacted to ensure that we are looking at the
best of the rest as well.
11. The state should identify the costs associated with all required transportation activities,
and separately, costs for activities not required. Minimum funding sho uld pay for those
required activities, while the unrequired activities might have to be paid by a local levy or
out of other district funding. An example is the contrast in costs of a district with buses
in a heated garage versus a district with buses on an open lot. Another district may set
walking standards higher than another. One district’s costs will be much higher, although
they might be similar in every other characteristic. Is it fair that the higher cost district
received more aid because it chose a high cost strategy for bus storage or for student
transportation?
12. What have the enrollment options programs done to transportation costs. Have we
expanded our cost structure by adding so many options for programs that more students
are riding with parents than would otherwise. Is there a cost here which has overridden
the improvements in education options? By providing many educational options, have
we made our transportation industry less efficient?
85
Appendix B
It is clear that our industry, a relatively small support piece of the education industry, needs to be
ready to be flexible as we work to improve funding for our transportation services. I hope that
we can look a various ways or providing safe, efficient, and effective transportation services for
our children.
White Bear Lake School District #624
My primary concern is that we do not go back to a system that penalizes districts that operate
efficiently. There is a significant difference in cost if a district chooses to operate a 2-3 tier
routing system than if they choose to operate a 4-5 tier routing system. The districts that have
made the tough decision to cut transportation costs by using their buses for an extended period of
time in the morning and afternoon should be allowed to realize the savings they have made by
doing so. I think you will find out through your study process that districts with very similar
demographics have very different costs, and it can mainly be attributed to starting and dismissal
times.
A second concern in this area is that we should not go back to a system where school districts are
looking for ways to increase expenditures in transportation so they can have an increase in future
revenue. There has never been any consistency among districts regarding what they report as a
transportation expenditure. I have seen everything from a percentage of principals salaries
declared because they do the discipline, to a percentage of the overall administrative cost
included because all administrators deal with some aspect of transportation, to nothing but the
cost to run the buses. The districts that figured out how to use charge backs under the old
formula created additional revenue from the state compared to those that didn’t.
If we return to a system that reimburses districts based on past years’ costs, you will have taken
away the incentive for districts to become more efficient. There are currently many districts in
the metro and outstate that know that many thousands of dollars could be saved if school times
were changed, but for other reasons have not decided to make the changes. I also believe that
districts that run efficient systems will be making decisions to become less efficient to achieve
other goals. An example of this is that many school districts have schools that do not dismiss
until 3:45 or later. Most staff do not prefer this, and some believe that students learn better in the
morning hours. The reasons that times are as late as they are is because it can save tens or even
hundreds of thousands of dollars for a district. If this cost were only for a couple years, and then
the state would increase a districts revenue to fund the new level of service, many people would
be in favor of making this type of change. There may or may not be an educational benefit to
doing so, but I don’t think the state should bear the cost of these types of decisions. In my
opinion it would be a significant mistake to go to any type of “base year” funding in
transportation, and if you did I would expect significant increase in expenditure over the next
several years.
Now that I have outlined my primary concerns, I need to state that I believe there are areas that
need help. I do have a concern with the small decreasing enrollment districts that have already
lengthened their bus routes, but have no way to maintain enough students on their buses to cover
the cost of running them. An example of this would be a rural district that is brining in all of its
students in at the same time, they are riding for 1 ½ hour each way, and the only change over the
86
Appendix B
past several years is that the buses use to have 50 kids riding and today they have 30. I think this
is a problem in small rural areas, and hope that something could be done to help them. I have
other concerns regarding reimbursement for drug and treatment centers and other expensive
programs, but I will leave my comments to the general formula funding at this time.
A final note is that I know I use the word “efficient” to describe districts that operate well under
the formula. I believe there are some districts that for geographical or other reasons are
operating very “efficient,” and still operating in the red. I hope that your process will include
some study of these districts to find out if there is a way to address these concerns without
significantly changing the current funding methods.
Fairbault School District #656
• This survey does not take into consideration the quality of the service provided.
• There is no information requested that represents the infrastructure necessary to support
the actual service.
• There is no measurement of the rate of pay and turnover rate, which affects the safe
delivery of this service.
• There is no comparison for the geography or the square miles served, which affects
routing efficiency.
• Any valid conclusions from this information would be impossible.
Roseau School District #682
I believe your survey to gather information for the legislature doesn’t address issues which are
present that affect pupil transportation costs for school districts.
The size (in square miles) of the school district affects pupil transportation costs. The Roseau
School District is one of the largest in terms of geographical size in the State of Minnesota. One
would logically surmise that we put more miles on our transportation fleet than a school district
of lesser size. This translates to more fuel costs, more time behind the wheel for labor costs, and
an accelerated maintenance schedule and bus purchase rotation.
In addition, the Roseau School District is located in extreme Northwest Minnesota with the
northern border of the district being Canada. We have some students who get on the bus at 6:30
in the morning – school starts at 8:30 a.m. The large geographical area coupled with the size of
our student enrollment results in approximately two students per square mile.
Student enrollment also has an affect on transportation funding. Like much of out-state
Minnesota, we face declining enrollment which equates to reduced funding – but the kids still
must be transported.
In the Roseau School District, we meet almost all of the conditions to receive elementary sparsity
revenue with the exception of distance between elementary schools. The statute cites a
minimum distance between buildings at 19 miles, yet in our district the distance is 14 miles,
therefore we do not qualify for this revenue. At a minimum, an appeal process should be in
place considering the geographical size of the district and the number of pupils per square mile.
87
Appendix B
Excerpt from: Chapter Title – Education Funding, Section 126C.10 – (f) “Qualifying elementary
school” means an elementary school that is located 19 miles or more from the nearest
elementary school or from the nearest elementary school within the district and, in either case,
has an elementary average daily membership of an average of 20 or fewer per grade.

Floodwood School District #698
Floodwood is a small, rural school district and at the request of Commissioner Jax, the following
transportation funding suggestions reflect what we feel is needed to compensate our school for
true transportation costs.
1. Designated HAZARDS that should secure funding regardless of the distance the student
lives from the school:
• When students need to cross or walk on a road with a speed limit of over 30 mph.
• When students need to cross or walk on a road without sidewalks and/or crosswalks.
2. OPEN-ENROLLED students should be eligible for transportation funding when they are
attending the geographically closest school to their home residence.
Justification for these suggested changes in that within four blocks of our school there is a major
river bridge without a sidewalk, a mainline railroad with no crosswalks and a highway with a
speed limit of over 30 mph and no stoplight, or stop sign to stop traffic for students to cross. Our
school, like many other schools, is transporting many students to ensure their safety, even though
no funding comes back to the district to do so.
88
Appendix B
Also, open-enrolled students make up 30% of our total school enrollment. We have students
riding the bus to Floodwood for ½ hour compared to the one hour plus bus ride they would have
to their resident district school. This has come about as a result of district boundaries set prior to
the closing of the Floodwood neighboring schools of Warba, Toivola, Meadowlands, Alborn,
and Brookston. Floodwood has become the school of choice because of geographics.
In reviewing our transportation funding information, as submitted to the state, it is apparent that
the informa tion is lacking actual transportation funding facts. The number of students listed as
transported is not accurate in that we transport a number of open-enrolled students as well as
many students for safety reasons. Secondly, since funding does not cover our true transportation
costs, we are not able to cover the following out of transportation funding:
•
•
•
A portion of principal’s salary (the principal handles all bus discipline).
A portion of the superintendent’s salary (the superintendent oversees the transportation
department).
Bus depreciation and new bus purchase.
Sauk Centre School District #743
The information gathered from this report will certainly be a good start in helping the legislature
understand the story of transportation. However, it is important that the “rest of the story” be
looked at as well.
The report does not begin to reflect any of the issues associated with what is happening to fleets
given the lack of “designated” dollars or specific levy authority for such purposes. Likewise the
report does not reflect the disparities that are created with some districts leasing special
education buses thus charging them against special education and generating significant
additional revenue versus districts that own such vehicles. Efficiencies actually are discouraged
with such rules.
Other issues that are not easily quantifiable and therefore seemingly lacking in this survey
include: issues of sparsity, issues of unique topographical characteristics, declining or even
increasing enrollment, open enrollment or other such program options, students per mile, size of
fleet vehicles, and in some districts issues of consolidation.
We are hopeful that some forum/mechanism will be used to look at all the issues, not just those
easily quantifiable in a two-page survey. Thank you for your consideration.

index) + .33*LN(miles perpupil transported) . Sparsity and density indexes used in this analysis
are based on square miles per pupil transported. Results of Unweighted Analysis.

State pays $280 – [$20 * (eligible pupils / total roundtrip
mileage)]. Pupils residing more than 1 mile or kindergarten
pupils residing more than _ mile are eligible. Total state
amount = (per pupil amount * total eligible pupils) – local
contribution of $0.42 / $100 AV. State pays 80% of eligible
special education and vocational education costs.
Included in basic cost calculation. State provided $7.9 million
for nonpublic students.
Included in general state aid as weighted factor.
State pays approved costs for students 1 mile or more from
school with density adjustments. Additional funding for
vocational students.
Included in basic support program.
State pays year costs + CPI increase.
Allocation = previous year’s allowance + lesser of 8% or CPI
increase, with guaranteed 3% minimum + additional
allocation for enrollment increase.
Eligible pupils must live more than 1.5 miles from school.
Regional districts receive 80% reimbursement; local districts
receive 28% of entitlements.
Included in district foundation allowance; reimbursement
available for bus driver training (limited to 75% of costs) and
nonpublic school student transportation (pays all reasonable
costs).
Most funding is provided through the general education
program.
Add on to basic program.
State formula reimburses 75% of approved costs but formula
is not fully funded requiring a statewide reduction factor.
Formula predicts costs, factors in pupil density, total mileage,
and costs incurred. Districts not exceeding 105% of predicted
costs receive 67% of approved costs. Those exceeding 105%
may be reduced as low as 56%.
Formula reimburses at a minimum of $0.85/bus mile with
additional funding for buses with 45+ capacity and reductions
for student assignment at less than 50% of bus rated capacity.
Transportation allowance based on lesser of actual costs or
calculated amount based on miles transported (excluding
activities) + in lieu of transportation (mileage paid to parents).
Funded through basic support program; 85% of allowable
expenditures per pupil are included in basic support
guarantee; allowable expenditures = 2 years average of
equipment costs and 1 year of operations cost + an inflation
amount in both years of the biennium. $44 million combined
state and local.
State aid only for vocational transportation.
Per pupil allocations adjusted for average distance pupils
reside from school and an incentive factor.

Formula calculates average expenditure per student for each
district. Districts exceeding average are adjusted downward,
those under average adjusted upward. Supplement provided
based on unpaved and unimproved roads traveled; hold
harmless provision.
State provides equalized aid for transportation to public and
nonpublic school students more than 1.5 miles from school;
formula provides a sparsity adjustment and is weighted by
grade levels.
Formula is based on the number of pupils transported, total
eligible operating expenditures, and the number of buses
operated. Failure to maintain a 100% efficiency rating results
in decreased future funding.
Maximum 90% reimbursement for actual expenses under
formula. Formula considers miles transported, number of
pupils/days, type of vehicle, distance from residence to
school, and the type of setting (city/rural).
Categorical aid provides approximately 50% of transportation
costs through a formula calculating the historical, statewide
transportation expenditure and adjusts for unique
geographical pupil concentration.
Provides a supplement to the foundation formula based on:
ADH (average daily haul) of eligible pupils residing at least
1.5 miles from school * a per-capita transportation allowance
* 1.39 (transportation factor).
Provides 70% of approved transportation costs (over 1 mile
elementary pupils, 1.5 miles HS students).
Subsidy for public and nonpublic students based on approved
allowance for vehicle capacity, mileage, utilized passenger
capacity, excess driver hours in congested areas, and the type
of service provided.
Funded through basic support program.
DOE is responsible for overall supervision of the
transportation program including vehicle acquisition,
maintenance, safety inspections, driver training, and all
operational costs (with limited exceptions covered by local
districts).
Included in basic support formula.
Included in basic support formula as per ADM cost.
Maximum rate/mile set by appropriation. Formula considers
daily cost per eligible student, maintenance costs, linear
density, and geographical cost variations.
Formula based on route mileage, transport time, and
equipment costs for transporting eligible pupils (more than 1.5
miles K-6, 2 miles 7-12).
Schools providing transportation are eligible for up to 50%
reimbursement.
Basic support formula considers land size of district, number
of pupils transported, and estimated costs per pupil.
