Regular Transportation Mileage – miles traveled with pupils on board to and from school and not classified in any other classification.
Exclusive Transportation Mileage – miles traveled to and from school with pupils who require a separate form of transportation service on exclusive schedule buses.

Special Trips mileage – miles traveled for special activities such as field trips, athletic trips, etc.
Federal Programs mileage – miles traveled for programs funded with federal funds

Deadhead mileage – miles traveled without students on board
Example: Driver parks bus at home, picks up first student 5 miles later – 5 miles are deadhead miles

Per Mile Cost is determined as follows: (Operational Cost – (School Bus Attendants Sal & Benefits)) / number of miles
Example: ($995,643.04 – $15,000)/ 712,200 = $1.3769
The School Bus Attendants Salaries & Benefits are added to Exclusive Costs, which increases the Per Mile Cost ( )

Total Cost at bottom of screen must equal the total operational costs shown on top screen.
Special Arrangements (Expenditures for these are reported on the Annual School Report ) Public Carriers – Expenses for students who ride
transit buses, taxis, airplanes, trains, etc. Private Carriers – Expenses for pupils requiring
transportation services other than those provided by exclusive schedule buses. (Example: special needs students who are transported by parents/guardians, or in county vehicles)
If no expenditures, no miles should be reported.

Third week of October Count ridership in the morning Count ridership in the afternoon Take the higher of the two At end of week take an average (total the
5 day highest counts and divide by 5) Separate categories between regular,
exclusive, Pre-K, etc. This is the count you will report to DOE
on your PTR
![Page 15: VAPT June 24, 2011. Data can be used for future projections Data is used in determining the funding for transportation, which is included in Basic.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649c945503460f949503d2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Total Ridership – Include all students, pre-k, non-public students, public carrier, private carrier and transportation through contract in the appropriate “boxes.”
As data is entered, the counts for Pre-K, private carrier, etc., will be subtracted from the total ridership to determine the K-12 ridership count.

Prorate the time these students spend in private or public carrier transportation.
Example: Student is transported by parent (private carrier) for 15 days of the 180 day year,
[15 / 180 = .08] (.08 is reported under private carrier) The remaining .92 is reported under appropriate category, such as regular or exclusive.

Ridership will be compared to Responsible ADM.
Responsible ADM – students the school division is responsible for transporting
Ridership should never be higher than Responsible ADM.

Report the number of buses in your fleet, regular and exclusive, separately.
Include spare buses, but do not include those buses that are used for spare parts and will not be returned to operations.

Divisions are grouped into similar clusters according to land area (U.S. Census data) and ridership for regular and exclusive.

Regular– 6 clusters to determine prevailing per pupil amount
Exclusive – 5 clusters to determine prevailing per pupil amount
Special Arrangements – one statewide prevailing per pupil amount is calculated
Public Transit – Regular transportation prevailing per pupil amount is used
Note: Clusters are shown in detail on the Pupil Transportation Verification Report and are held constant for the biennium.

For each of the 6 Regular and 5 Exclusive clusters, the linear weighted average (“prevailing average”) is calculated for both Cost Per Pupil and Buses Per 100 Pupils.
The Prevailing Average Cost Per Pupil is also calculated for the Special Arrangement category.
![Page 25: VAPT June 24, 2011. Data can be used for future projections Data is used in determining the funding for transportation, which is included in Basic.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649c945503460f949503d2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Regular TransportationCost / Pupils = Per Pupil Amount
$1,165,370.70 / 1,960 = $594.58
A linear weighted average will be compiled from all those in the cluster, to determine a prevailing per pupil amount for the cluster.

Exclusive TransportationCost / Pupils = Per Pupil Amount
$7,980.83 / 37 = $215.70
A linear weighted average will be compiled from all those in the cluster, to determine a prevailing per pupil amount for the cluster.

Special ArrangementsCost / Pupils = Per Pupil Amount
$8,283 / 5 = $1,656.60
A linear weighted average will be calculated and applied to all school divisions.

Public Transit
The prevailing rate for regular transportation is used for public transit.
![Page 29: VAPT June 24, 2011. Data can be used for future projections Data is used in determining the funding for transportation, which is included in Basic.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649c945503460f949503d2/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Each division’s base year ridership is adjusted by its projected growth or decline in ADM.
Projected ridership for each year of the biennium is multiplied by the prevailing average Cost Per Pupil for the division’s cluster. Example: if the prevailing average regular
transportation cost per pupil for division X’s cluster is $500, X’s projected ridership is multiplied by $500.

Deadhead CostsDeadhead costs are prorated back to regularand exclusive.Formula: Total Operational Costs / Regular
Operational Costs = % % * Reported Deadhead Costs = Deadhead Costs to be applied to Regular Costs *Note = same for exclusive
![Page 31: VAPT June 24, 2011. Data can be used for future projections Data is used in determining the funding for transportation, which is included in Basic.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649c945503460f949503d2/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Bus Replacement
Example: Buses = 43(Based on projected number of students)
43 /15 years (replacement) = 2.86 (number of replacement buses)
$77,443 (replacement bus price) * 2.9 = $224,585.59
Note: Type C=63% and Type D=37% of contract
A linear weighted average will be computed for all in the cluster.

Example (regular transportation) Pupils reported = 1960 Projected pupils = 1826 Replacement cycle = 15 yrs Base year avg. weigh bus cost = $77,443
1960/100 = 1.96 (individual rate ) *1826 = 3578.96/100 = 35.78 reg. buses
35.78/15 = 2.38 (this is added to the exclusive calculation) 2.38 * $77,443 = $184,314.34 added to transportation cost. Note = same process for exclusive buses

The sum of the projected costs based on ridership, bus replacement, and public transit is adjusted by the Composite Index and loaded into the SOQ Model.
Pupil Transportation Cost is updated every two years and held constant for the biennium.
![Page 37: VAPT June 24, 2011. Data can be used for future projections Data is used in determining the funding for transportation, which is included in Basic.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649c945503460f949503d2/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The SOQ Model adds projected transportation cost into each division’s total Basic Aid cost, as calculated by the SOQ Model, then divides by ADM to derive the Basic Aid Per Pupil Amount (PPA).
The portion of Basic Aid allocated for Transportation is shown on the “Basic Aid” sheet in the calculation template:
